I am still toying with the idea of a slow cinema documentary about a global warming activist. It may incorporate the anonymous theme by not revealing who the subject and keeping them mysterious. I love the style of Ben Rivers two Years at Sea and it reminded me of the documentary by Bruce Weber Lets get Lost on the Jazz trumpeter Chet Baker.
I wanted the film again and its free-flowing, access all areas warts and all portrayal of Baker is hugely atmospheric and captivating. The camerawork is a joy and high contrast jet blacks and whites. `there is even a touch of the surreal and Baker comes across as a flawed but gifted and mesmeric character. All of which I want my character to be.
Here is the trailer to the film to give an idea of the mood, tone and stylistics employed.
