Small Town

The A&E channel was the first to broadcast the Sopranos to the whole of the United States. This film shows the effect the mob-based series is having on Small Town America. An operatic score sets the scene; hicks greet each other with a mafia kiss, an old woman finds a body in a freezer, two youths beat up a push bike with baseball bats and a farmer turns the key to his tractor and is engulfed in a ball of flames. The commercial is shot in slow motion throughout.
