This documentary will engage you on several levels -- it is a brilliant brief on one of film's greatest cinematographers (Haskell Wexler), a great behind the scenes look at movie-making, and
a moving study of a son trying to come to terms with his famous -- and famously difficult -- father.
Many interesting insights from marquee actors and directors (but with James Lipton nowhere in sight!). While industry insiders will surely love it, it is equally appealing to "civilian" filmgoers.
Director Mark Wexler bravely shows his own foibles as well as those of his father. Many great telling moments.
