The Fog of War

A tour de force documentary by Errol Morris, where former defense secretary Robert McNamara delivers an account of his political life in the form of a confession, at times weeping. A perfect insight into the real world where there is no such thing as the good guys and the bad guys, just impossible decisions, compromise and eventual moral bankruptcy. One of the best documentaries ever made.

Running time: 1 hour 47 mins.

Rivers and Tides – Andy Goldsworthy

Beautiful documentary about my favorite artist, Andy Goldsworthy. Goldsworthy makes landscape sculpture from purely natural materials that are immediately at hand. He makes arches out of cracked ice, spirals out of cracked stones, and incredible sculptures from woven leaves. The results are simple and unpretentious but at the same time profound and painstakingly well crafted.

Running time: 1 hour 30 mins.
