The Old Man in the Cottage (Nina Hedenius, 1996) - Quiet documentary following an old man living alone in the woods of Northern Sweden for a year.
Kestrel’s Eye (Mikael Kristersson, 1998) - Another wordless Swedish documentary observing not only the kestrel's living on top of a church tower but also the people down on the ground.
Mourning Rock (Filippos Koutsaftis, 2000) - Ruminations of the ancient clashing with the modern and whatnot. Like a Greek version of Keiller's London.
The Tiniest Place (Tatiana Huezo, 2011) - About a village in El Salvador that was ravaged during the civil war. Testaments of the survivors are coupled with lush photography of the surroundings.

Cathedrals of Culture (Wim Wenders, Robert Redford, Michael Madsen, Michael Glawogger, Margreth Olin, Karim Aïnouz, 2014) 8/10 - Great doc about six monumental buildings around the world. My favorite was The Salk Institute by Redford. Would love to visit it one day.
Hillary (Nanette Burstein, 2020) 8/10 - Well-made and insightful documentary about H. Clinton
Chasing Ice (Jeff Orlowski, 2012) 7/10 - Beautiful time-lapsed doc about the effects of global warming and the change of an icy landscape.
and three short docs:
Winning Your Wings (John Huston & Owen Crump, 1942) 7/10 WW2 recruitment propaganda video by US Army. Informative, focused and, eventually, very successful, resulting in 150,000 new recruits. Narrated by James Stewart.
San Pietro (John Huston, 1945) 6/10 Another of Huston's war-time docs. This one's about The Battle of San Pietro in Italy. Controversial film at the time, it still is an uncomfortable viewing.
I Dreamt I Woke Up (John Boorman, 1991) 5/10 Short doc about what influenced Boorman in his career. I am interested in Boorman's work and yet I probably should have seen more of his films before watching this short. I've only seen Hope & Glory and its follow up Queen & Country and The Tailor of Panama. All good films by the way.

The Life and Times of Count Luchino Visconti, BBC Arena, Adam Low (director) 2002.
What an amazing life and career this man had - and such an extraordinarily privileged one, too. The palaces, magnificent estates and castles he grew up in, the enormous wealth he was born into! Wow! And, just to complicate things, he also became a (self-proclaimed) communist.
His first great success was in having bred and trained a horse that won Italy's most prestigious horse race. Then he embarked on his well-known career as a film director and opera-director. The tale of the illustrious Visconti dynasty is fascinating in itself: a long line of rulers, counts and dukes, etc., of Milan, since the 13th Century.
This film also documents in some detail his immediate family, his relationships with some family members, especially his devotion to his mother, a super-rich Milanese bourgeois cosmetic/pharmaceutical company heiress, his parents' divorce, and also his male partners. I had no idea the director Franco Zeffirelli was once one of his live-in lovers.
Politics and the Second World War are discussed, as is Luchino's help in the resistance against Mussolini's fascist government.
There are interviews with people he worked with, such as Maria Callas, Claudia Cardinale, Franco Zeffirelli and also his last lover, Helmut Berger, who became one of his main actors (The Damned, Ludwig and Conversation Piece). Twenty years Visconti's junior, Helmut was plucked from the Austrian ski-slopes by the already-famous film director during his ski-trip in the alps, where Helmut's parents ran a guest-house. Luchino brought the strapping young lad home to live with him in Italy. They had an extremely tempestuous relationship, which isn't surprising considering Luchino himself surely played a big part in creating Berger's spoiled, entitled, toyboy personality. Berger even describes some of the ways he'd hit back at Visconti after their frequent quarrels. Drama queen tantrums à gogo.
There's also an interesting interview with one of his actors from La terra trema, who describes working on that film as a young boy. There's footage of several of Visconti's best-known films, including insights from crew members who worked on these productions.
All in all, a very enjoyable documentary.
It's on youtube and dated there as being from 2003:

Circus of Books (Mason, 2019)
An average couple with a young family of three ordinary kids tries to make ends meet in the 1970s by buying a bookshop. Called "Circus of Books", in Santa Monica, California, the place soon becomes LA's most famous shop for gay porn.
The couple had no problem with what they did for a living - as long as nobody (including their three children!) knew about it. To their family and friends, they just ran a bookstore. On top of all this, the wife, an ex-journalist, was a devout, synagogue-attending, god-fearing person. Yet she was the one who was instrumental in keeping the store stocked up and running efficiently, visiting suppliers and attending sex-industry fairs.
It's a fascinating study on the kind of people who successfully manage to completely compartmentalize different parts of their lives, who make sure the two very different worlds they straddle never meet. Their home family life was as average and ordinary as you can imagine. To prove it, there are a few scenes of the young family at home, at school, or at the synagogue, shot using an amateur video camera.
The rare couple of situations it was unavoidable that one or two of their children had to stop with a parent and be taken through the store briefly, their mother tells them as they enter "Just look at the floor, keep your eyes on the floor at all times!" and they did as they were told. They never did find out what mom and dad's bookstore sold until they were adults.

Kubrick by Kubrick (Monro, 2020)
In which Kubrick himself admits his films are never very faithful to the plot of the original books from which they were adapted. (And his films are all the better for this fact, in my opinion.)
A look back at his main films with snippets taken from a taped interview with the director.
(Completely unrelated: This is the first 2020 film I've logged.)

shout out to greennui's DtC nominee Gubben i stugan, one of the best things i've seen this year
I'm often a bit wary about recommendating Swedish films, usually doubting the universality of them but more often than not it doesn't seem to matter. I can practically smell everything in that cottage and I've had elderly relatives with the same vibe as that old man.
now watching 'from caligari to hitler' on mubi. what do films know that we don't? interesting survey of weimar cinema and its emphasis on monsters of the id

Antarctica: A Year on Ice (Anthony Powell, 2013) 7/10
It chronicles a year of time spent living and working at United States' McMurdo Station and its neighboring New Zealand's Scott Base. It mostly focuses on the psychological effects of being around a very small group of people during the winter season. And just like those people, I too felt that noise and commotion when the summer 'gang' arrived and it already felt like a crowded place.
It could have used a better visual presentation. Watching this doc I remembered a superior one by Herzog - Encounters at the End of the World.
Sam Spiegel: Conquering Hollywood (Robert de Young & Stephan Wellink, 2018) 6/10
Mild, but still captivating documentary about the last true Hollywood tycoon. Spiegel led a colorful life and 60 mins is far too short to delve deep into the story of this extraordinary producer. I only hope that the likes 'American Masters' series could make an elaborate and detailed presentation of his life and career.

Seymour: An introduction (Hawke, 2014)
I feel I know Seymour Bernstein after watching this. He's one of the loveliest, most calm and interesting people I've ever had the good fortune of being introduced to.
Personal stories are often my favourite kind of documentary, and this one, about a gentle, humble and unassuming, yet extremely gifted pianist and music-teacher, is going to be hard to beat for the top position in all my film viewing - for any category - this year.

some of emigholz architecture films are on mubi, i'll probably watch them all -- really enjoyed goff in the desert (even if it's mostly OK/KS?) and some of his greatest creations no longer exist. i mean look at this place, it's the spiral jetty of houses, built in oklahoma in 1955! demolished in 2016 -- i blame trump 
emigholz is fond of canted angles, there's no narration and little music but it never lost my interest. sounds are of passing cars, birds, wind, etc -- totally diagetic

PBS's "American Masters" films are often wonderful, and this one was no exception: as excellent a production as I've come to expect from them.
A very human, engrossing, and sensitive account of McNally's career and life. I'm terribly ignorant about anything to do with theatre, including playwrights and prominent theatre actors, and this served as a good introduction to the Broadway scene of the last 40 years or so. I'm ashamed to say I'd never heard of Terrence McNally before, though some of his plays' titles were familiar, as I'd definitely heard of a few of them before I saw this - which illustrates just how huge and influential some of them were.
McNally died from COVID earlier this year.
The Hero's Journey: The World of Joseph Campbell (Balnicke, Kennard, 1987) 4
This was nebulous and unfocussed and it bored me.

Apollo 11 (Todd Douglas Miller, 2019) 8/10
Very well-made and edited doc about the most famous manned mission yet. However, in the end, it doesn't fully reach the heights of The Farthest (Emer Reynolds, 2017) which I still hold as the greatest modern documentary about space exploration.
Colette, l'insoumise (Cécile Denjean, 2017) 6/10
One-hour French TV doc about the French author Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette. She led a colorful life and is best known for her novella Gigi. This doc raised my interest in her story and I also plan to watch a biopic from 2018 starring Keira Knightley.

As a kid, my grandmother gave me Colette's novella Dialogues de bêtes which I loved. It's set in a house where the two protagonists are the pets, a cat and dog, and it records the conversations they have.

I just saw an old one from PBS's American Masters series called Isaac in America: A Journey with Isaac Bashevis Singer (directed by Amram Nowak and first broadcast in 1987). Watched on youtube from a VHS video with below average sound and not the best quality visually, but it was still wonderful listening to this old man's wisdom and humour.
This unassuming, humble man arrived in America from Poland in 1935 as the future started looking grim for Jews all over Europe. He settled in Brooklyn, NY.
Singer decided to stick to writing all his short stories in his native Yiddish, despite its already very small and declining readership, publishing his stories in weekly instalments in a New York Yiddish weekly newspaper (which reached 20,000 readers at the time). He was one of a small number of people who helped keep that dying language from disappearing altogether.
The 53 minute doco ends with Singer accepting his Nobel Prize for Literature from the King of Sweden at the official ceremony in Stockholm in 1978.
"Regarding free-will, I believe that yes, we do have it, and, furthermore, that we have no other choice but to accept it."
7.5/10 Loved it.

In 1980, the German politician Franz Josef Strauss ran for Chancellor against Helmut Schmidt. He was arch-conservative and considered as un-electable by many people, though he was tremendously popular in his native Bavaria.
This movie showed Franz Josef Strauss in a very respectless way - by quoting him and showing old speeches. Some cinemas refused to show the movie.
In the end, Strauss lost the elections.

the following i watched in the past year, but it's the doc i highly cherished (and thus posting anyway)...In view of the continuing housing shortage, self-build groups of varying intensity, the "Microbrigadas", were set up in Cuba in 1971. To this day, these groups continue to build their own apartment buildings as well as municipal buildings throughout Cuba. Architectural images, archive material and interviews are combined to create an experimental collage on this phenomenon.

America as Seen by a Frenchman (François Reichenbach, 1960) - Or 'Triumph des Apple Pie Cooling on the Window Sill'. Def felt a bit jarring watching this straight after H:IYZ, there's some really great shots in it, but I kept waiting for the cynicism to kick in, only for me to start questioning myself, do I really need to be that cynic??
