Cinema Verite (2011)

Genre: Drama
Directed by: Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pucini
Cast: Diane Lane, Tim Robbins, James Gandolfini 
Running Time: 90 minutes

 


This film is a fictionalized account of the events surrounding the shooting of the An American Family TV documentary for PBS, in 1971. The Loud family are convinced by documentary-maker Craig Gilbert to embark on this innovative television adventure, a decision that will have major ramifications on all of their lives.

With a compelling story and some very talented actors to carry it, this movie offers a very interesting look at the price of fame that may be much more than what some might expect. This title had been on my list of things to see for a while. I am glad I finally got a chance to see it. I am sure it was an embellished account of true events, but it was still very interesting.
