Koch [2013] Dir: Neil Barsky

This is a documentary about Ed Koch, the former mayor of New York City. I really enjoyed it. He was a great character, very funny at times and straight talking but certainly not universally liked as shown in the film. 

 The documentary utilises some great archive video footage and photographs of New York City from the 1970s and 1980s which (being the city it is) was fascinating to see. I wasn't too familiar with Koch (pronounced 'kotch' by the way) before watching this but I'd like to read more about him based on what I've seen. It's just over an hour and a half long so I'm guessing that a lot of stuff has been left out or skimmed over. It's definitely worth a viewing.

    I'd heard mixed reports on this one, but I'm gonna check it out now. Man pops up in every New York based doc ever.
