Respectfully disrespectful. Wrong-headed. Historical desecration is the price of engaging a new generation in "boring" (their words) archive footage. The anti-Shoah. One extra star for the prologue and epilogue, which don't employ the very awful, cutscene-style colourisation techniques.

The Other Side of the Wind 2018
"Blown" away, ha ha. Huston's monolithic, petrifying performance is the thing that instantly sticks. But so, so, so much is packed in there. I can't recall seeing a film that's so frantic and elegiac at the same time. Films I thought of while watching included:
The Leopard
Zabriskie Point
The Wedding (Wajda)
Play Time
Eden and After
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
Model Shop
The Last Movie
Ulysses’ Gaze
Performance
Where Does Your Hidden Smile Lie?
SOB
All That…
