definitive documentary
24 October 2005
TV documentaries are often no more than magazine articles dressed up with pictures. or they fall into the cult personality journalism trap - Nic Broomfield. Michael Moore for example. Sometimes they are SO much better. this film, directed by Don Boyd and produced by Charles Sturridge and Nick Fraser, is an example of documentary at its very best. a combination of innovative smooth film-making (albeit impressionistic at times) and very sensitive, probing storytelling. It looked ravishing and was brilliantly edited.(Kate Spankie) it worked on so many levels and i enjoyed every moment. (a bit short maybe - apparently Don Boyd shot 100 hours of footage!). i saw it on a big screen in Brussells with many other women. They loved it.
