Jurors’ statement: “New York is a city where anything is possible. So it takes a lot to surprise and shock us. It’s also rare to find a film that does this in such a skillful way — through a present-tense cinematic language that explores every dark nook and cranny of its subject’s life. We were impressed with this film’s craft, but we were even more impressed with its content. It portrays both the beauty and cruelty of New York. It also shows the city’s obsession with surfaces, and it gives us a figure who’s complex, troubling, and fascinating. For these reasons, the Metropolis Jury recognizes Thomas Wirthensohn’s Homme Less.”
