This film is on an extended run in the Studio at BFI Southbank from 14 November. Full details here.
Here is the BFI introduction:
This thoughtful documentary charts world-renowned film critic Roger Ebert’s final months battling cancer. It uses excellent archive footage alongside interviews with friends, filmmakers and former colleagues to reflect on his life – from student newspaper editor to his role as the Chicago Sun’s film critic, and his (often fractious) work for TV with fellow critic Gene Siskel. What emerges is a portrait of a man whose intelligence, competitiveness and tireless passion for cinema inspired his bravery to the last.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
