The Illinois Parables
From dreamy aerial opening shots, we are sent on an expedition through the storied land of our fifth most populous state, Illinois, often called a miniature version of America. Deborah Stratman’s experimental documentary explores how physical landscapes and human politics can each re-interpret historical events. Eleven parables relay histories of settlement, removal, technological breakthrough, violence, messianism, and resistance. Who gets to write history—physical monuments, official news accounts, or personal spoken-word memories?

Reviews
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
