About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re curious about lost films, artistic ambition, and behind-the-scenes stories, especially if Varda by Agnès or The Extraordinary Voyage appeal to you; Not for you if unfinished projects and process-heavy documentaries sound dry.

Pros: striking archival footage; fascinating creative process; compelling unfinished-film mystery | Cons: niche film-history focus; uneven pacing; more intriguing than complete
