When veteran documentary cinematographer Kirsten Johnson transitioned to directing with 2016's "Cameraperson," which was assembled from hundreds of hours of b-roll footage Johnson had shot over the years, it was unclear what a follow-up from her would look like. What we got - the new DICK JOHNSON IS DEAD - is a project both harrowing and whimsical: Johnson inviting her beloved father, showing early signs of dementia and failing health, to stage (and re-stage) his own death. Adam and Josh agree that the film is "a miracle." Also something of a miracle is Barbara Loden's first - and only - film, the verité-style WANDA from 1970, the next film in the Overlooked Auteurs Marathon.0:00 - Billboard1:07 - Review: "Dick Johnson is Dead"Tim Heidecker, "Fear of Death"27:21 - Next Week/Notes37:30 - Polls45:32 - Overlooked Auteurs #4: "Wanda"1:08:24 - OutroLearn more about your ad choices.
