Many of you may know that I appear in the documentary film The People Vs. George Lucas, which premiered at South By Southwest last week. Well, the reviews are in, and the folks over at the People Vs. George Blog have a round up of the fan/media reaction.
Here’s just a taste:
‘The briskly paced movie does an admirable job of lashing together the best bits, which are combined with fascinating archival footage of the social phenomenon that Star Wars has become. […] That’s a lot of input to boil down into a coherent, feature-length movie, but Philippe and crew have pulled it off.’ (Wired.com) -- FULL REVIEW HERE
‘The People vs. George Lucas is an amazing piece of documentary film making. […] The interviewees range from film critics and musicians, to regular people and filmmakers. […] The commentary they provide on the passion they have for the original fare is powerful and inspiring and makes you proud to be a film geek of any ilk. Conversely, the articulating of black-bile hatred for the newer films and the re-releases is subversively hysterical.’ (Film School Rejects)
Congrats to Alexandre, Vanessa, and Robert and the folks at Quark Films. They’ll be announcing more film festival screenings of the film shortly.
Here’s the trailer for the film:
Looking forward to seeing this one.
I cannot wait until this comes out! Partly, because I’m interested in seeing what people say about Lucas. I’m also excited cuz I get to see you and Jonathan up on the silver screen
