Title: A wonderful documentary for lovers of literature and cinema
Review: A well-crafted exploration of readers and writers, Mark Moskowitz's documentary has been appearing in myriad top-ten lists for 2003. It chronicles Moskowitz's attempts to locate the writer Dow Mossman and, en route, it calls upon a score of writers and former associates of Mossman. The success of the film is this journey, a celebration of why we read and why we write. It makes you want to go home and start reading immediately--maybe dust off one of those books you've been holding onto for years without having read. Some literary masterpieces may not strike us until we are ready to appreciate them. Moskowitz couldn't breach Mossman's book when he first bought it, but found himself lost in its poetic imagery much later in life. Fans of film and reading will love this documentary. Do yourself a favor and pick it up.
