Review of Benjamin Smoke (2000) by Private U — 23 Nov 2007
The first half is amazing. Beautiful, tragic, as surreal as a documentary can get. A portrait of a man who made heartbreaking music as well as the environment in which he thrived (and died). But by the end, the point has been made and the sickness has been paraded in front of you for long enough.
I read somewhere that if this were trimmed down to a short it would have been an award-winner, and sadly I think I have to agree.
