Movie Description
Citizen Yuppie
(1987)Overview
Citizen Yuppie is a 1-minute long short film directed by noted film critic Roger Ebert, originally shown alongside his partner Gene Siskel's short film (A Confessional Documentary) on the 1987 broadcast of their annual Holiday Gift Guide program. It was shot entirely on a (then-new) Fisher Price PixelVision PXL2000 low-fidelity camcorder in monochrome on compact audio cassette, inspiring Richard Linklater to utilize the same technique in his 1991 feature SLACKER. The film recontextualizes Citizen Kane to provide some self-reflexive commentary on the filmmaker's status in the world.
