Director David Ceasar
I’ve really been taking it easy on the documentary front recently. As mentioned in the last post, I’ve even stooped so low as to watch documentaries online. While that isn’t bad in and of itself, it’s certainly a far cry from the 3 documentaries a day that I’d been watching before working full time. Yes, you read that right… full time work… it’s a massive thorn in the side of watching films and blogging.
Anyway, in my online travels, I’ve scoped some gems from a fairly well-known Australian director, David Caesar.
His films, Body Work, Car Crash and Fences are fine examples of the participatory documentary form, with more than a hint of Errol Morris stylings, circa 1980s. All films above are crafted with masterly direction and are well worth checking out if you’re into the sort of documentaries that seek to inform the human condition. I mean that too.
