My latest contribution to The Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy blog is a brief interview I did with Bill & Turner Ross, the brothers who collaborated to make 45365, a mosaic-like documentary portrait of their hometown of Sidney, Ohio.
I hope you all enjoy the article...and I hope you all find a way to watch this movie. Because it's terrific: a formally daring, observant and empathetic piece of work. Who says small-town life in middle America has to be an object of ridicule? In 45365, the Rosses—to borrow an expression Herman Melville used in talking about Nathaniel Hawthorne—say no, in thunder.
