Portrait filmmaking — about a person, not an event. Camera close, editing unhurried. This requires patience and rewards it.
Rich material, fresh angle. The film changes your understanding of the subject — or at least makes you reconsider. That's what documentary is for.
Works for those who already know something about the subject and want depth. Newcomers may struggle without context.
Director: Davis Guggenheim
