A Film of Firsts: Peter Bogdanovich on Red River dives deep into the 1948 classic with a focus on Bogdanovich's insights. The documentary feels like a conversation rather than a formal review, which is refreshing. He dissects the film’s themes, notably the exploration of masculinity and the moral complexities of the Old West. The pacing is leisurely, allowing you to absorb each anecdote and reflection. What stands out is the discussion around the two versions of the film—it's a fascinating look at how editing shapes narrative. Plus, Bogdanovich’s reverence for Howard Hawks and the performances in Red River—particularly John Wayne—add layers to the viewing experience that any collector will appreciate.
