Frederick Wiseman Films

“Another RIP. The greatest narrative filmmaker of all time was a documentarian. A sociologist like Balzac! Humanistic with a critical eye but never sentimental or editorializing. Modern doc slop and message pushers could learn a thing or two. Apparently these were hard to see for a while but they’re all free with a library card on kanopy. A fitting distribution platform for a champion of public institutions. Long live FW, long live public libraries.”

“RIP to Frederick Wiseman, legendary documentarian. Read Bryan's great synopsis above!”

“If you can make it through Titicut Follies (1967), then you'll enjoy the dozens more that followed.”
