Sense the Wind

0 hrs 55 mins

Blind sailors race across open water, learning not to fear what cannot be seen - on boats or on land. They compete despite risk, trusting an image of the racecourse in the mind's eye. Yet life is as unpredictable as the wind. Between seasons, one gains something far different than a trophy, and must learn afresh to live, sail and to lead with a new sensibility.

What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael

1 hr 38 mins

Pauline Kael, the New Yorker film critic for 25 years until the early 1990s, was a lightning rod of American culture. She waged a battle to be recognized and her opinions made her readers hate or love her. Her distinctive voice pioneered the art form, and was largely a result of stubborn determination, huge confidence, and a deep love of the arts. The movie also shows 20th-century movies through Pauline's eye, and shows Pauline's own life through moments of other movies. The filmmakers had complete access to the subject -- through Gina James, Pauline's only child and the executor of her estate; friends and colleagues; and Pauline's personal archives. With over 30 new interviews, including David O. Russell, Quentin Tarantino, Camille Paglia, Molly Haskell, Alec Baldwin Greil Marcus, Paul Schrader, John Guare and Joe Morgenstern. Sarah Jessica Parker voices Pauline through her writing and letters.
