Side By Side

Aroview: An earnest Keanu Reeves fronts this broad but insightful overview of the rapidly changing landscape of movie production and exhibition from both an economic and artistic standpoint.

Presenting both sides of the argument in the digital vs. film debate, the doco features a number of impassioned pleas (i.e. from Christopher Nolan) for the unique merits of shooting on celluloid, although is perhaps too weighted in the pro-digital corner (i.e. James Cameron) to provide a truly balanced picture of state of cinema at this current juncture in film history.
