Just saw this doc at the SF Intl. Film Festival.
For those of you unfamiliar with "Blink of an Eye," his brief book on editing, Walter Murch is a genius, a truly great editor and a great educator.
The film's a talking head interview of Murch, intercut with specific examples of his work that illustrate his words. It's a wonderful way to re-experience and deepen your understanding of key moments of such movies as "The Godfather," "The Conversation," "Apocalypse Now," and others.
And you'll learn a lot more about editing in 90 minutes. If you can, catch other screenings at the festival. When I went, Murch was there for insightful Q&A afterwards.
