a message from peter whitehead about sms sugar man
Dear Aryan,
My only regret was not having time to speak to you about your film. I would love to have a DVD of it to watch it more closely. Lots of amazing fascinating stuff - and parallels to so much of my thinking. You are truly a poet of the cinema. And a dark one at that - always the best!
Talk soon …
best

hey, where did she get such such cool stills? : - )
nice review, i enjoy her appreciation of the cellphone camera as a medium with particular strengths. but is the film in need of some ruthless editing?

I wouldn’t say “ruthless editing” is needed. i personally thought there was hardly a superflous scene or word spoken.
