Dave Chappelle’s Block Party
Directed by: Michel Gondry
(Universal)
By going behind the scenes, the extras on Block Party—which is a behind the scenes documentary to start with—play as an extended dimension of the movie. Michel Gondry’s film about the staging of an outdoor Brooklyn rap concert takes a fresh approach to concert films—focusing on communal experience over celebrity.
