A friend sent me this link to Roger Moore’s piece in the Orlando Sentinel, about the Sundance doc Chasing Ghosts, and I have to say… it sounds kinda awesome. I’m a sucker for looks back at optimism and naivety through the busted lens of melancholic maturation, and the use of the superb Dogtown and Z-Boys as a sort of leaping-off reference point is shrewd and spot-on. (Michael Apted’s Up series, meanwhile… not so much.) Still, if this flick gathers indie cool cachet like there’s every reason to believe it will, are we going to have to sit through a masturbatory procession of explorations of every fringe American adolescent pastime?
