My โ โ โ review of The Automat on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/5a24fN
A โ โ โ review of The Automat (2021)
There are bits that are a bit iffy, like the quick anti-union part, but I enjoyed the American historical stuff going on in the film, and was a joy to see the late Carl Reiner and RBG speak. America sure does love a franchise, doesn't it? And while he's still with us, as of November 14th 2023, let's rejoice the life of Mel Brooks before he isn't. What a legend.
Sarah Gelbard, PhD (she/her)"Americans once sipped coffee and ate pie around communal tables, sharing their struggles and dreams with strangers at Horn & Hardartโs iconic Automat. Lifetimes ago, these working class palaces nourished a sense of unity that bridged the diversity of class, language, gender and race in the urban melting pots of the East Coast." #TheAutomat
I watched #TheAutomat #documentary yesterday and then pleasantly surprised to see one featured as a set in the final episode of #MrsMaisel that I watched last night. Perfect timing. I felt a deep connection with the setting choice that I might have missed otherwise.
Super interesting and highly recommended documentary. I saw the trailer last year when I was developing the syllabus for a course on the #sociology of #ThirdPlaces but I don't think it was released yet.
Kelvin n0mql EN35ldIf you haven't seen "The Automat" docu from 2022, you should. The founders of Horn & Hardart (now defunct) were also of this mind.
