I'm just watching this documentary on the Detroit Public TV channel and am enthralled at how it is put together. It highlights many of the points of de Botton's book and discusses how various forces in our lives contribute to how we (on both sides of the pond) live and perceive things on a personal and societal level.
In addition to the commentary, the film mixes interviews with beautiful images of urban and rural life. Individual's stories are sensitively presented in a personal and humanistic manner (if slightly biased at times to confirm the author's own points). Nice soundtrack as well.
TV needs more of this! It's a refreshing change of pace to have someone literate on the tube, especially someone stark bald, yet handsome in a non-traditional way. Plus, any film that presents the contrast of an intelligent Englishman in the middle of an American hick town deserves some applause.
I discovered de Botton's writing from an introduction he wrote for an intriguing book by Xavier de Maistre, and later read his work on Proust, which was very pleasurable reading. Continued success Mr. de Botton!
