I headed out to the Regency Academy Theaters in Pasadena on Monday to see C.S.A: Confederate States of America. Kevin Wilmott's film is a very clever spoof of public television documentary, network television programming and American history. The premise is that the audience is watching two hours of network programming featuring the premiere of a documentary produced by the "British Broadcasting Service" which for the first time tells viewers in the Confederate States of America a view of their American history from an outsider, unvarnished point of view.The movie is a smart, funny, incisive commentary on contemporary race relations which is far more subtle and interesting than the highy heralded (and much maligned) "Best Picture of the Year" Crash. GO SEE C.S.A. NOW!
