The Windmill Movie Trailer




In theaters: June 17, 2009

What if someone wrote your autobiography? 200 hours of footage, dusty boxes of film, a broken editing computer: these were the pieces of filmmaker Richard P. Rogers daring attempt to make his own autobiography. He died in 2001, leaving a lifetime of filmed memories, until his student and protégé, Alexander Olch began making a movie out of the pieces. Writing in his teachers voice, working with with Wallace Shawn, Bob Balaban, and Richards wife - acclaimed photographer Susan Meiselas - Olch steps into his mentors shoes and his past - to make a film that was impossible to make. An autobiography, that isnt. A documentary which is fiction. A lifetime of questions, finally answered.

I think I'd see it. Plus, it has the word Windmill in the title so +100 points.

Didn't they do a piece in the New York Times about this awhile back? Anyhow, I'll definitely be seeing this. It looks really compelling.
