    Proficient work, semi-hagiographic
    Henry talks well here, defending his dubious but indelible political reputation, and his distinctive voice rather dominates the 2 hour work in the absence of any formal / critical naration. The questions from the English interviewer are quite pointed, but few and far between, giving the subject a chance to slant everything his way. It's still very eye-opening just how unrepentant he remains about absolutely everything he's done and how clear his conscience seems to be. Cleverly they have kept a few bits where he tries to 'rephrase' answers he was unhappy with 'can we stop this for one second?'. Obviously Kissenger is a complex character arising from remarkable beginnings, which lends him some obvious sympathy from viewers. His globe-trotting diplomacy and glamourous private life, and his free-thinking (right or wrong) make him both a memorable and towering historical figure. Even in his old age he has lost none of his metal and spirit, and this documentary illustrates this well. Who knows, even a sociopath can do some great things given the opportunity. It is Nixon who seems to get the hard end of the stick with his expletive-deleted voice growling away on his own secret recordings. This isn't a hard-hitting expose, rather more a vehicle where I guess on his part he hopes to nuance his legacy, which he clearly cares a lot about even now.
