So, ‘Mike Nichols: A Life’ is this fascinating dive into Nichols’ world in the mid-60s. It captures that intense, sometimes chaotic atmosphere of Broadway transitioning to Hollywood. You really feel the creative tension as Nichols navigates making ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ with Taylor and Burton, whose performances are just electric. The drama isn’t just in the script but between the three of them, caught up in their own lives and the art they’re creating. The pacing feels reflective, allowing for those moments where you just soak in the weight of their collaboration. It’s not just about the film; it’s about the personal struggles and triumphs of a director finding his voice in a new medium. Quite a distinct piece for those interested in both theater and film history.
