Great interview with legendary documentarian Ross McElwee on his new film “Remake,” about the death of his son

McElwee has always had that calm, personal voice, and this sounds like he is using it to look straight at grief instead of circling it.

The idea of a film called Remake built around loss, memory, and the footage you already shot is heartbreaking in a very documentary way. It makes you think about what the camera saves and what it cannot save.
