Cool. Looks like the most straightforward Movie About William Eggleston so far, which is not a bad thing.
"Eggleston in the real world" is cringe-inducing for me, because of the filmographer's need to pour on us the very details of his tortured soul while we really want to hear about the subject at hand.
"William Eggleston: By the ways" is not a bad endeavour if you seriously like W.E.'s photographs. But it's elliptical, elusive, inconclusive, and almost mute, like the man, and it can get on people's nerve pretty quickly. I saw it at a museum projection, and the full room of the beginning was constantly dwindling down throughout the movie. I stayed until the end because I thought there was something genuinely interesting in saying nothing about someone's art which is so deeply pictural. But every once in a while I thought "damn these French filmmakers and their inability to tell it plain..."
