Title: An original take on nature documentaries
Review: Judy Irving's "Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill" is an interesting take on the nature documentary genre. It focuses on a group of parrots living in San Francisco. One of the most amazing things about the film is how it reveals the intimate relationships among parrots in a way not possible just observing parrots in the wild. The fights, romances, and frustrations of each parrot are clear and eerily similar to human relationships.The film also encourages viewers to take more notice of nature in their own surroundings, even in urban areas. Just because these parrots live in a big city, doesn't mean they aren't fascinating.The regular DVD has a lot of great extras, including over an hour of additional footage and updates.I hope it will come out in blu-ray soon.
