Holko 9,526 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 All over many bonus features, he makes by far the most generic overedited talking head ones, broken down needlessly into 10 minute separate featurettes all with a pointless 2 minute intro and 1 minute credits, they usually feel like some promo for a proper bigger docu with breathing room and depth that just doesn't exist.

SpaceCoyote 150 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I don't know that Spielberg has ever laid eyes on any of the behind-the-scenes docs and featurettes Bouzereau has produced "for him" in the past.

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Susan Lacy But I didn't think that doc was any different from what Bouzerau will probably do? I remember one really great segment on the movie brats with a lot of home video footage of him hanging out with Lucas, Scorsese, DePalma, that was lovely. And a couple surprising comments from Spielberg, especially his regrets about The Color Purple. But it also ignored anything that wasn't universally popular and really said nothing new for those of us who have followed his career, or watched the A&E Biography or "Spielberg on Spielberg" specials, and it mostly featured a lot of interviews with people saying Spielberg's really awesome and nice! I also remember it jumping all around his career in kind of random ways. But this is what I'm saying lol, if this is pretty much like that it'll still be a fun watch. Just not like the amazing BBC doc of him working on Empire, or like Scorsese's documentaries. Once 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Biography was a series of documentaries on the A&E Channel and they did a 90 minute one on Spielberg, it was the first I ever watched and I remember it airing all the time on cable here in the US, it was how I became a Spielberg "expert" as a kid lol. It was similar to the HBO doc in style and the way it told the story of his career ("Jaws and Close Encounters, WOW! 1941, OH NO!") but of course shorter. "Spielberg on Spielberg" was also a 90 minute TCM Special directed by the critic Richard Schickel that consisted only of Spielberg talking about his movies. There is a YouTube playlist but the second part is missing. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 4,131 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 While Bouzerau doesn’t elicit an outright loathing from me, I can appreciate that his docs are surface level and lack artistry associated with a real deep dive. But honestly, I never expected that. Even if it were under Spielberg. This isn’t intended for Us. It’s for the masses and casuals. I can say I’ve always appreciated Bouzerau docs often being the first to show outtakes or deleted material. His E.T. Book is decent. I guess I’m more looking forward to his access to rarities than his style. But really anyone could provide that if given the access to footage. Would I prefer to hear how Williams replaced Legrand on Man Who Loved Cat Dancing’s troubled production instead of the Schindler anecdote? You bet. But there exists no world in any multiverse where that would happen. I was cautiously optimistic even with Spielberg’s vague and cagey response to the interviewer. It’s easy to hope for more, considering Morricone’s doc, but (unpopular opinion) Spielberg is a little weird when it comes to choices and priorities. I can’t help but be a little resentful that he doesn’t take the reins and do it right. He owes a lot of his career to Williams.

Popular Post mahler3 478 Posted January 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2023 I think there’s much unfair criticism for Laurent B here. Unlike some of his contemporaries when he was commissioned to do the bonus material content for Laserdisc and the early days of DVDs there was always a film music focus. It’s clearly a passion, not just a gig. The original Jaws and 1941 documentaries were feature length and very in depth. LB has also done superb docs on Hitchcock which accompany all Universal Studios films. Yes the soundtrack releases had flaws, but even the great Shawn Murphy made errors with ones he was involved in.

GerateWohl 4,370 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 The documentry should be narrated by Hans Zimmer. I don't particularly like his music. But I like it, when he talks about John Williams. And he really knows what he is talking about, and also from the role he plays in the industry as on of THE members of the next generation of film composers, he might have something to say on the topic.
