Little Men Little Men

Ira Sachs / USA / 2016 / 85 min / English

A story about friendship between two thirteen-year-olds, jeopardised by the dispute between their families, and a critical examination of the gentrification of Brooklyn.

Jake is a quiet, sensitive middle schooler with dreams of being an artist. At his grandfather's funeral, Jake meets the affably brash Tony, whose mother has leased retail space in Jake’s parent’s building, and the unlikely pair soon hit it off. The budding friendship is put at risk, however, when a rent dispute between Jake's father, and Tony's mother, Leonor, threatens to become contentious.

"I once read that the books of Jane Austen could be described as being about two subjects: love and money. And I feel like I connect to that, not because my films are very Austen-esque but because I think these are two places where you can learn a lot about characters and about a culture as well. For me there is so much drama in having people to do with family and relationships and then wrap themselves around issues of financial needs, basic human needs."
(Ira Sachs)

A found-footage documentary assembled exclusively out of post-socialist Romanian advertisements.
