Three Documentary Filmmakers: Errol Morris, Ross Mcelwee, Jean Rouch (2009,PDF)


Knjiga o tri reditelja koji su čitave svoje živote posvetili dokumentarnim filmovima. Što se tiče Ross McElweea, za sad sam postavio samo njegov masterpis Sherman's March (1986), dok je Errol Morris već, pa može se reći, domaćin na ovom blogu, sa čak 8 radova, od kojih bi možda izdvojio First Person (2000), zbog skroz nesvakidašnje forme dokumentovanja stvarnosti. Treći u priči, Francuz Jean Rouch, je sada već pokojna faca, imam neke njegove dokumentarce, ali se još nisam usudio da ih postavim, no o tom potom, biće i toga, niti jedan (ne)bitniji reditelj neće biti zapostavljen, a do tad uživajte u ovom pdf štivu.


"Film study has tended to treat documentary as a marginal form, but as the essaysin Three Documentary Filmmakers demonstrate, the films of Jean Rouch, Ross McElwee, and Errol Morris call for, and reward, the sort of criticism expected of serious works in any medium. However, critical methods that illuminate what makes Citizen Kane a great film are not adequate for expressing what it is about Rouch's The Funeral at Bongo: The Old Annaï, McElwee's Time Indefinite, and Morris's The Fog of War that makes them--each in its own way--great films as well. Although these filmmakers differ strikingly from one another, their films are deeply philosophical and personal, and explore the paradoxical relationships between fantasy and reality, self and world, fiction and documentary, dreams and film, filming and living. It is a challenge to find terms of criticism capable of illuminating such works, and the essays in this book rise to that challenge."
