Documentary about war photographer James Nachtwey, considered by many the greatest war photographer ever.
The film follows James Nachtwey in a calm, observational way, often up close, even with a camera mounted on his own. It takes time for silence, for waiting and for the decision of whether to press the shutter. The result is a thoughtful portrait that explains less than it shows what this work does to a person.
Good for you if you like serious, quiet documentaries that reflect on war and responsibility without preaching.
