The Windmill Movie (2009)

Filmmaker Richard P. Rogers tried for twenty years to make a documentary about his own life. He died in 2001, leaving the project unfinished, until his widow, acclaimed photographer Susan Meiselas, commissioned his former student Alexander Olch to make a film out of the pieces. Starting in the Hamptons, in the town of Wainscott, the film weaves Rogers' footage into a journey through childhood memories, a less than encouraging mother, a family background of privilege, and Rogers' persistent, dogged attempts to document his own life. Rogers' friend, actor and writer Wallace Shawn, joins in the process, as the film investigates the differences between documentary and fiction, and tells the tragic story of Rogers' life.

I have to say that I really wanted to like this movie more than I did. The problem is, that watching Rogers try to figure out his own life story is boring. Knowing that his student (Olch) went through the footage and made his own version...which we were watching is interesting. It is only truly compelling when Susan (Rogers wife) is involved. At the Q&A for the film at the New York Film Festival, she stated that she didn't contribute as much to the film as Olch would've liked. I think the audience might have liked it more as well. The reason Rogers couldn't make the material he had shot work is because it doesn't.

I donâ??t know if you can get more â??metaâ?? than this film â?? a movie about a guy making a movie who spent his entire life making a movie that was never finished and is â??finishedâ?? here ... yeah, read it again slowly. If anything, this film just made me realize that envy isnâ??t always a vice, sometimes it can actually be a virtue. I feel like this movie has been done before better but no examples are jumping to mind. Self-indulgent on both Olch's and Rogers' part.

Fascinating movie about a man incapable of making a movie. Very cool how they tried to piece all the footage together and how compelling yet melancholy as well.

Even when it feels like it is just a meandering, self-indulgent mess -- there is something interesting that refuses to allow you to walk away. By the time Alexander Olch begins to form all of Dick P. Rogers' footage into a meaningful meditation on his life I was completely captivated. It is a slight of two hands -- one belonging to the artist who shot the footage and the second belonging to the artist who was once a student of the first. There is a sadness that looms over it all, but there is also a constant feeling of hope that never dies.

A warm portrait of the fascinating Richard P. Rogers, an experimental filmmaker.
