(Ron Mann/2014/USA)
An
enlightening biography of the fiercely independent American director
Robert Altman, this documentary doesn’t get bogged down in
interpreting or analyzing the films themselves and concentrates on
his methodologies and the story of his personal life. There are
lovely contributions from the many and varied actors he worked with
and supported throughout his career and the love for him shines
through. His family’s remembrances and the home movie excerpts add
to the veracity and poignancy of the project. It does a very good job
of representing the life’s work of this maverick film maker and
added a lot more titles to my “to watch” list.
(3/5)
