Again, I haven't seen the film. But just because a "legendary documentarian" is on board doesn't mean that a well-made documentary results. A lot of badly-made films have been produced by good directors, while their subordinates complain in vain. BTW, I really want to see the film, whether or not it has good "production values." Any source of information that breaks with the orthodoxy of the New York TIMES, NPR, PBS, etc. from the left is a good thing. The idiotic critique of the film in the NYT makes me want to see it even more. -- Jim Devine "All science would be superfluous if the form of appearance of things directly coincided with their essence." -- KM _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
