Canadian filmmaker Arthur Lipsett calls this avant-garde collection of a half-century of newsreel footage a time capsule. Made in 1965, it certainly begins by imparting a woeful nostalgia, but delving deeper into the realities of history is a dangerous dive, and A Trip Down Memory Lane reveals itself to be dark and unsettling. Watch through to the end for the full effect.
