#SFIFF 2015: Documentaries
Now we are getting to documentaries which actually might be good and not a waste of time, in the same sense that crab Louie might be good and nutritious. That is to say, yeah maybe but I'm just not feeling it right now.
But you might!
All of Me - Women wait by train tracks, passing food to young men emigrating to the US.
Boomtown: Remaking San Francisco - "How does our city deal with change?"
Experimenter - "inventive and playful biography of social psychologist Stanley Milgram" (contains Winona Ryder, who I hear steals the picture).
How to Smell a Rose: A Visit with Ricky Leacock in Normandy - Les Blank and his partner Gina Leibrecht visit another documentarian.
Isabella Rossellini's Green Porno Live! - This seems to be a movie of the stage show, with the director and Rossellini doing a Q&A. The program description is not clear.
Listen to Me Marlon - Marlon Brando doc, drawing on 300 hours of audio tape.
Love & Mercy - John Cusack plays Brian Wilson and Paul Giamatti plays his therapist. I'd actually see this in a heartbeat, but this will get major distribution so you can skip it at the festival.
Dreamcatcher - Former sex worker tells other sex workers "It's not your fault" (because sex is always bad).
Romeo Is Bleeding - Not the Gary Oldman movie, this is about adapting Romeo and Juliet to life in Richmond, CA.
T-Rex - Olympic women's boxing
Very Semi-Serious - "The world of The New Yorker's cartoons and cartoonists"
