So, 'My Kingdom For...' is this intriguing documentary from 1985, where Robert and Rosemarie Stack visit the Boettichers. It’s not just about the horses, though – it’s a deep dive into this unique slice of life that captures the essence of horse breeding, particularly the Portuguese Lusitano and Spanish Andalusian breeds. Budd Boetticher, with his smooth narrative style, adds layers to the film, weaving in their rich histories. The pacing is casual yet engaging, letting you soak in the atmosphere of the ranch and the beauty of the horses. You can feel the passion behind the lens, and the practical effects, if you can call them that, are simply the horses themselves, which are stunning. It’s a nice reflection on tradition and pride, making it distinct in the documentary genre.
