Apr 27, 2009 - I hate to admit, this was entertaining, in a very strange way. I was only 5 years old when these scenes were filmed, but I remember many things of 1973-74, and brought back the times of remembering my dad in that time period

May 22, 2009 - I am stunned this is on youtube. I do love Eggleston, grew up in Louisiana in the 70's, and have a high tolerance for obscure 'video art'. But, quaaludes, huh? The drugged rants do get a bit tedious after a while...

May 30, 2009 - Very interesting. It is like a glimps into what everyday life was like, kinda cool... it does somewhat drone on sometimes but, strangly I like it. Kinda like a time capsule. Yes and everyone on youtube is used to getting their FIX in 3 mins or less, rush, rush, rush lets see the punch line already ie. a whack to the nuts or the kid who jumps a shopping cart into a bush ect... Does Lady Russelle remind anyone else of Robin Williams in a weird freaky way? lol

Jul 20, 2009 - How can some people not even be captivated by the simplicity of the scenes! These must be folk who are bored with their own lives, a moment of silence to them is something which needs to be filled with some screen or noise or movement, learn to enjoy the true beauty of just being and then give it time x

Jul 29, 2009 - Thank you, cinetic, for posting this important work. For a great 'behind the scenes' look at this film and some of it's larger than life characters, check out 'It Came from Memphis' by Robert Gordon. And to those of you who 'don't get it' or are 'confused' I can only say this- That thing in your hand (not that hand) is called a 'mouse'. Use it to click to something more on your level! Cheers

Sep 18, 2009 - If there was any famous photographer that I had the opportunity to meet, it would be William Eggleston. He's quite unique. Maybe one day while in Memphis....

Jan 11, 2010 - I saw this at Eggleston's exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery in DC. I think the description is inaccurate here. Wasn't it filmed in Canton, Mississippi? Hence the title...

May 26, 2010 - Wow, how did I find this? Fantastic movie. I knew I'd love it right from the opening scene with the two kids.

Jun 4, 2012 - The drugs of choice may have changed slightly over the years, but the New Orleans scenes could have been shot yesterday. Very little obvious identifiable exteriors...its the vibe of the subjects.
