7.5/10

A beautifully filmed documentary full of motion and colour, a heartfelt look at the rise and fall of the use of neon signs throughout the world. While predominantly looking at its use in the United States, the filmmaker takes us on a journey around the world to look at the magic of neon. The documentary describes the initial public perception of neon as a glimpse into the future, it's use in film and art, as well as the changing impact that neon has had throughout the 20th century. A wonderful documentary that will change the way you look at the colourful city lights.
