Baby Boom

Sally Kohn: I find baby boom to be really effective and like a fascinating text as a child of the eighties. But i'm not receiving it as prescriptive, she says; this is a snapshot of a moment. She cites verner herzog's "Burden of dreams," in which he loses his mind trying to drag a mount ship up a mountain. Kohn: The film becomes this kind of object of fascination. There's something cool going on here. Maybe even just the state of movies at that point will seem like a pretty magnificent piece of art.
