Structures, people and events are documented in Cologne, Minnesota, in 1939.
Alright, so I have never been to Cologne, so far as I can recall. And I was not alive in 1939. Not even close. But I have spent my life in Wisconsin, which is close, and my grandparents were farmers in a rural area. Much of what I see here reminds me very much of them and their property. And I suspect this is true all across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and probably further.
Another reviewer commented that it is strange to rate a film that was never intended to be screened for criticism. That is an interesting point and a true one. But just the same, there is a level of skill here, and this is an important cultural document. Whether that was the intent or not, it deserves the positive acclaim.
