More of a love in than a review - QT8: The First Eight review by Other Worlds
One of the extras on the DVD for 'Ronin' is an interview with the director John Frankenheimer in which he talks very straightforwardly about how he , as a director, puts a movie together and why he makes the choices he does i.e. why did he choose this lens , why that soundtrack , why are the people in the scene situated as they are , how to convince an audience of the passage of a significant amount of time using just a few seconds of screen time. I mention this because I was really hoping for something of the same from QT in this retrospective of his work, imagine my surprise and disappointment then that he does not even appear in it! What we have instead are a revolving group of actors and associates offering some anecdotes, reminiscences, toasts to the great man. It's interesting for a while but honestly not for the length of the whole film. The only person in the entire movie whose actions are critiqued and whose motives are speculated upon is Harvey Weinstein. Now given that all of QT's movies , that fall within the scope of this documentary, are produced by HW ( and others ) it’s perfectly fair that the people involved should have some insights on the man but I can't help feeling that they should have been collected and presented as an extra on the Blu-Ray instead rather than included here and given how quickly ( although belatedly ) QT has tried to distance himself from being associated with Weinstein I'm sure he would have appreciated it too.
