Wiseman's debut documentary Titicut Follies is a stark, unrelenting glimpse into the State Prison for the Criminally Insane located in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Portraying the conditions that existed when it was made in 1967, the film was banned worldwide until 1992 due to a court ruling regarding invasion of privacy, but has since become an esteemed classic. The title refers to a musical revue staged by inmates and guards. This film tells you more than you could possibly want to know--but no more than you should know--about life behind the walls of one of those institutions where we file and forget the criminally insane. 1967, U.S., BW, 16mm, 84 minutes.
