No Lies... is a 1972 short dramatic film made by Mitchell Block while he was a student at New York University. The film, which is in the style of a cinéma vérité interview, deals with a young woman who has been raped and has been widely viewed by nurses, therapists and police officers.

In 2008, No Lies... was selected for inclusion by the United States Library of Congress to its National Film Registry.[1]

Notes

“No Lies” serves as a commentary on the observational mode by revealing how emotional the documenter can be. Block does a good job of keeping out of the film physically, but hearing his voice really affects the observational theme of the movie. Originally this was just supposed to be a film about his friend getting ready for the night, but it turns into a look into the trauma suffered by victims of rape. During her rant on the events that happened that night, she described a woman walking past her and watching what happened. The Friend said that their eyes locked for a second, but she knew there was nothing to be done. After the long description of the awful event, Block still doesn’t believe her. It takes a river of tears, and a broken down woman for him to finally understand that this is real for her.
