Lost Book Found::::Jem Cohen

Begins the film high above the city almost as if he is reflecting upon his concurrent situation, how he arrived at this particular spot. The events leading up to. He uses a great amount of still shots almost like a photo album. Reflects upon the characters he met while being a cart roller selling hot dogs and peanuts on the side of the street----becomes invisible to the passer byers. He starts to notice the things that were hidden to him prier to this job. I do infact think that this film is extremely autobiographical it was almost as if he was reading us his diary on his innermost thoughts and his own reaction to his environment. How he interacted with the city in which he lived. Where his mind was while he kept this boring job what he was preoccupations were. Made me question what I notice on a daily basis what sorts of characters I might run into, what words are inscribed on Columbia's pay phone change holders?
