film, a span that witnessed the emergence of fresh talent and the return of seasoned nonfiction filmmakers at the top of their form. It all made for the single best year for feature documentaries that I can remember.
“The first chapter,” Poitras told me, “is called ‘Merciless Logic,’ which we learn Nan’s sister quoted from [Joseph] Conrad. It kind of captured themes of a society, a cruel society that crushes people who are rebels and outsiders and who stand up to power. And it rewards people like the Sacklers who ruthlessly profit off people’s suffering and death.” It sounds like the title for a horror movie.
One older gentleman appears burdened by grief. He reveals that his partner has died – a man he had always told others was his brother. The director realized it was probably the first time the man had ever come out to someone. This a haunting experience, made the more so by the director’s inspired choice of score – the very one Bernard Herrmann wrote for. And as anyone who has seen the Alfred Hitchcock film knows, it is about a man who cannot let go of the memory of a woman he loved and lost. Spectacular imagery of volcanic eruptions makes for the powerful visual experience in this film directed by Sara Dosa.
badaxefilm All the Beauty and the Bloodshed was as good as expected. I loved the volcano footage in Fire of Love. My favorite is still Bad Axe. It gives you all the feels.
