A New Lifestyle is this intriguing little documentary that dives into the behind-the-scenes of Elia Kazan's The Arrangement. It’s got this almost voyeuristic feel, as if you’re peering into the creative process in a way that feels both intimate and revealing. The pacing is quite laid-back, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the set and the dynamics of the crew and actors. There's a certain rawness to it, which I find quite refreshing compared to more polished making-of features. The performances are unguarded, revealing the real tensions and camaraderie that can exist on a film set. It’s not just a promo piece; it’s a slice of 1960s film culture, capturing a fleeting moment in time.
This documentary has a bit of a niche following, primarily among collectors who appreciate the era’s filmmaking nuances. Copies are relatively scarce, especially in good condition, so it might take some digging to find one. Its release format has varied, with a few limited screenings and some bootlegged versions floating around, which adds to its allure. Overall, it has a charm that resonates with those who are into the artistry behind the camera.
