Excruciatingly dull and meandering documentary presided over by Keanu Reeves. This is supposed to weigh the pros and cons of digital versus film in moviemaking, but it's just a bunch of luminaries talking about video cameras, with Keanu explaining how cameras work as if he were speaking to a kindergarden class. It's not like they didn't talk to the right people, perhaps Mr. Reeves didn't ask the right questions? I noticed a funny pattern: Whenever he was speaking to a distinguished cameraman, it would list credits that starred Keanu Reeves over any others. For instance, legendary Director of Photography Vittorio Storaro (
The Conformist, Apocalypse Now) was billed as the DP of
Little Buddha. Listless and unenlightening.
