First part great
Middle part meh
Final part great
The beginning and the ending felt like a Makino film, probably why this was good.

I'm speechless.
This is one of the most magical films I've ever seen. I'm still processing what I just saw.
It's a shame Víctor Erice doesn't have a big filmography. I only need to watch the documentary El sol de membrillo and the various shorts he has done.
A beautiful documentary about experimental filmmaker James Benning.
Narrated by Benning himself, he narrates his beliefs to make the film's he does, the way he makes them while he also ponders about life and his ideals that are implicitly shown in his films.
The film is shot almost like a fictional film about a lonely man who makes films and it is amazing.
If you're really into Benning's films or wondering about what Benning is trying to go when he makes his experimental documentaries this is a great way to understand a lot about what lies behind his films.
