A truly extraordinary film...maybe the best attempt at an artist biopic I've ever seen. Extremely well assembled...shots ranged back and forth in time to illustrate the effect of the past on present psyche. He had many of the players look directly into the camera...often...which created a sense of intimacy and complicity in the audience.
At three hours it was too dense to absorb in one sitting. Breaking it up into two worked beautifully.
These pseudo-documentaries he has created are stunning and unique in the world of cinema. Pity he isn't better known to the general public.
