A landmark of American counterculture cinema, Medium Cool blends fiction and documentary in a bold, innovative portrait of late-1960s unrest. Directed by Haskell Wexler, the film follows a Chicago television cameraman whose life becomes entangled with the political turmoil surrounding him, culminating in the real-life chaos of the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Gritty, experimental, and historically vital, this is an essential title for fans of New Hollywood and radical filmmaking.
