Martin Bell's documentary on runaway teenagers in Seattle picks up from a Life Magazine article (by Cheryl McCall) and photo essay (by Mary Ellen Mark). It shows us close up (by way of telephoto lens, usually) a lifestyle most people are only distantly aware of, and it contains some good practical information on how to go about it: how to get edible garbage from a dumpster, how to get a free (if cold) pizza. It never goes much beyond voyeurism, and a particularly tsk-tsky form of it at that, but the authenticity is not to be doubted, and you might wake up the next morning with a tongue sore from tsking. (1985) — Duncan Shepherd
