Qui a peur de Pauline Kael ?
6.5
Pauline Kael, longtemps critique de films au New Yorker, s'est battue toute sa carrière pour imposer son empreinte. Une personnalité toute en éclat(s), riche d'une confiance en soi inébranlable, d'un passé complexe, mais surtout d'un amour profond pour l'Art et le cinéma.
Documentary
The Madness and Misadventures of Munchausen
10
This is an all new feature length documentary, with interviews from almost everyone involved with the production of the film. Gilliam never shies away from the truth, even when it comes to himself, and so this documentary is self-effacing and refreshingly frank. The documentary details not only the battles Gilliam had with Columbia in getting the film finished and released, but also the imagination and innovation that went into the production.
