Machete Gillette… Mama (1989) is an experimental documentary by Larry Gottheim that showcases his distinctive editing style, blending wit and precision. The film is composed of footage captured during his journeys in the Dominican Republic. Gottheim's focus on repetition and the dissonance between sound and image serves as a sociological commentary, reflecting ritualistic elements while disrupting traditional ethnographic perspectives. The fragmented montage style of this film is a precursor to the modern fusion of avant-garde and ethnographic filmmaking, offering a compelling critique of conventional documentary practices.
