Frost/Nixon
Year: 2008
Grade: C+
Country: USA
Director: Howard
Reviewfairly boring flick about the interview between nixon and frost in the late 70s. the film’s essential thesis is that we should watch the last two hour interview between nixon and frost. the film all but explicitly states that the first three were worthless and that even the last one was meaningful only because of the way television distorts reality by allowing us to remember people and events in the context of sound bites. too bad howard didn’t save me two hours by just telling me to watch the last interview of the series. i’ll save you the time: skip this and watch the last interview which is available on dvd right now.
