You should sit down.

Keanu Reeves made a documentary.

I’ll let that settle for a second.

Yes, that Keanu. Could there ever be another?

No, it’s not about holistic healing or hanging by wires all day. It’s about the seismic shift the entertainment industry from film to digital. And he talks to real filmmakers about this important topic. Scorsese (does that guy ever turn down the opportunity to talk about film?). Cameron. Lucas. Nolan. Dunham (for the kids). And it looks like he might have made a thoughtful eulogy, capturing a moment in time as technicians try to make the new as good as the old while purists claim a pixel is not a grain and a skin tone is so much more than a digital array.

I am staunchly pro-film. Digital can look great, but it always looks like digital. I’ll take grain with a drop-off over blocks of under-exposed noise any day. And no one has yet to match the color of Powell or Vidor. (via indiewire)
