07/24/2015 A not so well made Documentary on a incredible figure in Silent Cinema Erich Von Stroheim who was in many ways the first James Cameron an obsessive genius. It chronicles his rise to fame with DW Griffith & his transformation to a director & the unbelievably ambitious projects he pursued. Although labelled the man you love to hate his creative genius is unmistakeable & his imprint on cinema will be eternal. A great film for those interested in directing & cinema history. See more 03/03/2011 ok documentary but not one I would ever watch again. See more 02/21/2011 Interesting documentary but a bit dated. Eric Von Stroheim was indeed a special individual and one that has been forgotten with the passing of time. For students of film this would be an interesting view but for modern day film fans probably not something you will enjoy. See more Read all reviews
