“Alternative Reel recently placed Frederick Wiseman’s groundbreaking 1967 cinema verite doc Titicut Follies at the number 2 spot in their list of the Top Ten Banned Films of The 20th Century … The film, which offers a cold and often disturbing look at the lives anf treatment of criminally insane patients at a mental hospital inside a Massachusetts prison, was unavailable … after the state Supreme Court declared it violated the patients’ rights to privacy. It’s now widely available––so widely available, in fact, that after about four seconds of digging, I found the film in its entirety on Google Video (see above).”
