«At Berkeley» In theory, the 70th Venice Film Festival was something of a banner one for documentaries: two in competition, one of which, «Sacro GRA,» won the Golden Lion, several others in sidebars or out of competition, and a number of films -
about -
filmmaking in the Classics strand, including «A Fuller Life,» «Bertolucci On Bertolucci» and «Double Life: James Benning and Richard Linklater» (the latter two we didn't make it to, but
heard good things
about, and hope to catch up with in the near future).
I'm glad I learned
about someone I had never
heard of before, but knowing the little
about him that I do now, I wish he had been better served by the
filmmaking.
