GG: 32 Short Films again
As far as purely factual biography I have no idea how "32 Short Films"
rates, but as a film I rate it as one of my favorite five, alongside
"Citizen Kane" and the films of Wim Wenders. The only short that misses
for me is the animation. It was after a recent viewing that I joined the
list.
Perhaps it is meaningless as biography. Perhaps it simply creates a myth,
but it holds up an artistic figure not as tragic but as transcendent.
