Modesty

About This Movie

So, 'Modesty' from 1981, directed by Bob Rafelson, is this intriguing self-portrait that really dives into Rafelson's psyche and creative process. It's a documentary but feels more like a reflection, almost meditative in its pacing. You get this mix of candid moments and artistic introspection, which makes it feel very personal. The atmosphere is a bit raw, capturing the essence of the time and his journey in filmmaking. There's a certain unpolished charm to the way he presents himself, which contrasts nicely with the more conventional documentaries of the era. It’s not flashy, but it has that unique edge that comes from someone who knows their craft intimately.
