MURCH -- THE MOVIE



There have been a lot of "talking head" documentaries in recent years -- THE ARISTOCRATS, HELVETICA, THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE.

In MURCH, DAVID and EDIE ICHIOKA focus their camera, more or less, on film and sound editor WALTER MURCH as he talks about the craft of editing and the film's he's applied it to.

And really, any "talking head" documentary stands or falls on whether or not the head doing the talking has interesting things to say -- and by that standard, MURCH is a movie lover's delight.

You're going to have to look for MURCH, but anyone who cares about film at all will find the quest provides its own reward.
