It scares me a little bit that during this Stay at Home time, I haven’t been catching up on movies that I’ve missed or want to see again but have in fact been watching documentaries! Ok, we can argue whether Tiger King truly qualifies and if McMillions is really a documentary but Score and now Side by Side are true documentaries. I’ve even ordered a used DVD off of Amazon for another one called, The Cutting Edge – The Magic of Movie Editing, all of these having to do with different elements that go into making a movie.
I recently rewatched 1917 (and liked it even more) and was prompted by a friend to explore some of the techniques used to create the one-shot look. After doing that, I found myself wanting to explore more about what goes on behind the camera to make what we see in front of it. Though Side by Side describes itself as a film that details the change from film to digital, it goes into detail about many areas of the movie-making process. Another must-see for us movie nerds. …and don’t get caught off guard by executive producer and interviewer, Keanu Reeves. Yes, John Wick/Neo/Duke Caboom himself, Keanu Reeves.
