Going through his films in order - after Ballet (1995) I had a hard time with La Comédie-Française (1996), I just couldn't relate to it.
Public Housing (1997) is about the Ida B. Wells housing project in Chicago (which was torn down in the 2000s). It is pretty great.

I am watching Belfast, Maine (1999) now and loving it. It is over 4 hours long though, so I'm taking my time

I’m watching “Welfare” in chunks of 15-20 minutes. Just really painful to watch

(The family kitchen documentary was … it was pretty good, not my favorite. It’s playing on a one night basis here in June and I have to think about whether I’m committed enough to spend four hours watching it on a week night.)

Painful riveting, though, right? As I've said many times, I think his greatest film.
