Cinema 100

I saw this a couple of nights ago. An eerie and unforgettable documentary which seems to be an examination of that wonderful landmark the Golden Gate Bridge but turns into a meditation on suicide. Something about the bridge seems to attract the suicidal like moths to a flame. Is it some form of immortality? A brief moment of fame?

One common thread seems to be mental illness but this isn't always the case. And there is a survivor whose story is told in heart rending detail. The thing is a lot of these people seem to have so much to live for with close friends and family who care for them deeply. I'm convinced they're all due to some form of mental aberration and in some cases nothing really helps they just want to do it and they do.

Ebert gives this 4 stars.
