Review of Camera Buff (1979) by Martin T — 14 Jul 2008
A surprisingly rich film, touching on a wide variety of themes. Self-discovery, familial duty, censorship, and of course passion for cinema, and the responsibility of the filmmaker. Kieslowski's most autobiographical work, and his comments on filmmaking are fresh and honest.
He realizes that simply pointing a camera at something does not capture the truth, and that films can have consequences. One of the things I love about him is how he never breaks down into black and white, right and wrong.
