Mubi is exclusively showing Diego Echeverria's Los Sures (1984) in a new restoration September 3 - October 2, 2016.Williamsburg Savings BankThomas Wolfe’s short story “Only The Dead Know Brooklyn” first appeared in the June 15 1935 issue of The New Yorker. The story attempts to render spoken dialect into prose: its opening sentence is “Dere’s no guy livin’ dat knows Brooklyn t’roo an’ t’roo, because it’d take a guy a lifetime just to find his way aroun’ duh goddam town.” Wolfe’s mode and the story’s appearance in The New Yorker (the 1930s New Yorker was a very different magazine than it is today) speak to a particular 20th-century perception of the New York City borough of Brooklyn, both within New York itself and as far as the rest of the United States, and the world, was concerned. Brooklyn’s myth was as New York’s cynosure of rough-hewn authenticity.

Photo by Ellen Tolmie.From the moment, in 1971, that I arrived to New York City to study film at Columbia University, I found a vibrant and welcoming Puerto Rican community that provided support and continuity to my own life. I was born in Chile, but raised mostly in Puerto Rico where I had witnessed almost half the population of the island forced or enticed to emigrate to the Us, primarily to New York City. Learning about many of the problems and challenges they faced in the city, and living experiences tied to our shared identity, affected me deeply. This became part of my own world, my own reality, as I tried to find my own place in New York and become a documentarian. Before I started work on Los Sures, which was...

Exclusive: After 32 years, the documentary Los Sures will soon be seen nationwide following an acquisition by Oscilloscope Laboratories, which also plans for an ancillary release to follow. From director Diego Echeverria and named for the nickname locals gave to the area, the film is a deep dive into the Southside of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, decades before the neighborhood became synonymous with New York City gentrification. Looking at the poverty, violent crime, crumbling…...

A quick Google search can show anyone what New York looked like in the early ’80s, and, should that not be enough, there are always some YouTube videos to help satisfy a bit further. But those who really want to feel the place — hear the people’s stories, see the homes they live in, drive through the streets they walk every day — need to take note of Los Sures, a 1984 documentary about members of Southside Williamsburg’s vibrant Latino community. There’s great pleasure to be found in the sense of atmosphere, though as much as the film — its music, its fashion, its cinematography — feels like a blast from the past, its stories are no less valuable and common today than they were during the Reagan administration.

Having recently seen it, I feel confident saying few documentaries transport viewers into New York’s past as effectively as Los Sures, a brief and efficient document of Southside Williamsburg’s Latino community circa 1984. More than an entertaining look into the lives of strangers, it’s really, truly a blast from the past — the rough-and-tumble Williamsburg as it lived and breathed in a pre-gentrified era.
After decades spent toiling in obscurity, Diego Echeverria‘s documentary was restored and given new exhibition by UnionDocs. Now, 32 years after its premiere, Los Sures will be given a theatrical run at New York’s own Metrograph theater starting on April 15 — ahead of which is a trailer I’d consider representative of the film’s attributes. If what’s displayed herein proves at all intriguing, Los Sures is a movie for you.
See the preview below (via Gothamist), and check back next week for my...
