Featured review
A real pleasure to view
It is without a doubt, one of the finest documentary series I've ever seen. Don Haworth has done a incredible job here. If you're a fan of Vivian Kubrick's (the uncut version) Making 'The Shining' made in 1980, which is the closest thing I can compare this to, then I think you'll love this too. I have to say that it's a extremely nice style, we see people casually having conversation, eating, early eighties England (which was when I was born, which I think maybe adds to the interest for me) and it's all properly edited, plus no intrusive music. I cant recommend it enough really.
Shot on film and could easily hold its weight in a cinema, it's a excellent example of how to go about these things (in my opinion). It's a very personal film too, as it shows genuine emotional changes in the man its focuing on over the years that its shot. For more similarities I'll mention the cinematography style of American Movie, another great documentary made in 1999 about a struggling independent filmmaker.
