Voyeur is another documentary, this one about writer Gay Talese and his efforts to write a factual book. I can never remember who Gay Talese is because he is filed under writers my Dad liked, subcategory odd names: Gay, Gore, Studs.
It’s one of those documentaries where you wonder, “At what point did they decide to start filming this?” Or does Gay Talese just film every moment of his life in anticipation that things will go tits up and he’ll have to explain his decisions?
The best person in the whole documentary is the voyeur’s wife, Anita. She got a lot of sympathy from me, because it is her job to calm down the voyeur and to speak truth.
Interesting. An interesting pairing with Tell Me Who I Am and the themes of trust and secrets.
