91’ / 1968 Directed by: Albert Maysles, David Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin
Considered 'the direct cinema classic' Salesman follows four door-to-door Bible salesmen as they walk the line between hype and despair. Talking, pushing, cajoling, telling jokes and stories, throwing out compliments, the salesmen make their "pitches" to a wide range of customers mostly middle, working-class Catholics. A staggering portrait of the American dream.
