Gentleman Rissient (Benoît Jacquot, Guy Séligmann and Pascal Merigeau). In his Cannes report, Film Comment editor Nicolas Rapold notes that the film “consists of the titular film-culture god regaling the camera with stories… Although the doc and its clips look a fright, and Rissient was the subject of a previous film by critic Todd McCarthy nearly a decade ago, his anecdotes about filmmakers remain worth hearing for their present-for-the-birth pedigree, ranging from being privy to Fritz Lang’s obsessive daily logbook to getting close with Clint.”

Mifune: The Last Samurai (Steven Okazaki). “The subject is a rich one, but the film simply isn’t incisive enough,” finds Stephen Farber in the Hollywood Reporter. “Keanu Reeves provides the rather bland narration, which offers such nuggets as that Mifune ’embodied steadfastness and integrity.’ … There are some impressive interviewees on display here, including American directors Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese, several of Mifune’s surviving collaborators, and family members of both Mifune and Kurosawa. But the people asking the questions didn’t encourage anyone to probe very deeply into their subject.”
