Review of A Film Unfinished (2010) by James-Masaki R — 05 May 2011

I love watching behind-the-scenes material and making-ofs. Sometimes they take away the magic curtain to reveal the strings attached, and sometimes they give you a depth to the story you would've never thought of.

"A Film Unfinished" may be the ultimate 'making of / behind the scenes' film: A documentary about a film that was being shot in the Warsaw Ghetto by the Nazi propaganda machine. Mixing the surviving uncut footage, outtakes, alternate scenes, interviews of survivors, and a recreation sof one cameraman's testimony, makes one powerful documentary that shows both, the strings and the depth.
