It had nothing to do with the taking back sunday song, therefore it was very enjoyable.
Basically my entire 70s film class done in three hours. Very informative, very interesting. They did not cut too many corners and cover a decent amount of films. It's a shame that certain filmmakers were not included for various reasons (not interested, death, being Terrence Malick....) but it is worth seeing nonetheless. Especially if you like 70s films.
This had nothing to do with the Taking Back Sunday song of the same name therefore it was unenjoyable.
This doc would be far more interesting in the filmmakers weren't only interested in blowing their subjects. There are some informative bits here & there, but in the end it's a lot of guys yapping about how great they are before blaming a few other guys who aren't included for spoiling the creative freedom afforded to them. Just write down the movies they mention you're interested in and get real insights from a book.
It's a shame this was Ted Demme's last project. This documentary and his last feature film, "Blow", really represent the work of someone on their way up. He died of an accidental cocaine overdose at 38 years old.
