What Life Itself Is About
The life of a film critic, from the newspaper years through the television programme to his illness. It was shot during his final months. The documentary does not hide the hospital room; it shows directly a man who cannot speak still communicating by writing. The narrative also does not skip the real animosity inside a television partnership that lasted many years. Steve James directed, working from Roger Ebert's own book; Ebert died during filming. A real warning: images of severe illness and medical procedures are shown directly. This is not a light documentary about loving cinema.
