Gunnin' For That #1 Spot
Aroview: Beat-bopping doco, directed by Beastie Boys band member Adam Yauch, following the fortunes of eight top highschool basketball players attempting to slam-dunk their way into the NBA.
Directed with considerable skill by Yauch, this doco treads the line between truthfulness and stylistic indulgence – many of the actual games are shot with such flair one feels we’re in music video territory – what is more intoxicating is the spirit and drive of the young players, yet untainted by an industry that threatens to swallow them up.
