from Sister Carrie

Novel Reflections (2007) is a unique film that uses the art of fiction to examine American history. By reading from Sister Carrie, The House of Mirth, The Great Gatsby, The Grapes of Wrath, The Street, Typical American, and Seize the Day the documentary explores the central American myth of success and self-invention. Like Viewfinder's highly praised documentary on Antietam, Novel Reflections employs a radically different photographic approach to historic re-enactments.
