Topic: Great reading about Gimme Shelter movie Return to archive

Bruno " (...) I came across an interesting Pauline Kael review of the Maysles film ‘Gimme Shelter’. I guess she wasn’t a big fan of the film, even going as far as to suggest that David & Albert Maysles and co-director/editor Charlotte Zwerin are indirectly responsible for the death of the young black man at the infamous Altamont concert. Below is the original review as written by Kael, and following it is the written response by the filmmakers, which ultimately was never published in the New York Times. It’s a pretty interesting read and good fodder for discussion on the elements of fact and fiction in documentary filmmaking. To bad some of the ‘facts’ within her own article turned out to be fiction".

That is a great reading, folks. The response by Maysles and Zwerin is damn good. Read it all here:
