This 1-1/2 hour documentary is new. I am pretty sure that the
other day was its premiere. It will probably turn up in
Europe shortly. He has a lot of fans. What struck me was his
ability to be present constantly when he speaks. No filler,
sharp intelligence and encyclopaedic knowledge of cinema. And
no conceit, so that one can actually listen to what he is
saying.
He has The Aviator (on Howard Hughes) coming out soon -- now
that's a character that connects with the hardboiled and noir
worlds! Ellroy drew upon the Hughes character in his LA
quartet, to good effect.
Best,
