"An in-depth, award-winning documentary on the life and music of legendary bluesman ROBERT JOHNSON. Mixing rare photographs, exclusive interviews, and dramatic re-creations, director PETER MEYER presents a compelling portrait of this enigmatic figure. Hosted by Danny Glover with Keb' Mo' as Robert Johnson, featuring Johnny Shines, Honeyboy Edwards, John Hammond, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards". IMDB Keb Mo does a great job. IMHO

From IMDB "Celebrates the birth of show business, and tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation. Director: Michael Gracey Writers: Jenny Bicks (screenplay by), Bill Condon (screenplay by) | 1 more credit » Stars: Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, Zac Efron | See full cast & crew » A feel-good movie of course, but in this day and times it was a great escape.

Bobby - Emilio Estevez (2006) I thought I'd rewatch this as part of my current relook at 1968. Altmanesque ensemble drama set at the Ambassador Hotel on the day of the Robert Kennedy murder. Has it's moments but doesn't really work. The vignettes are worthwhile but unexplored. The use of the assassination to hold the threads together in unconvincing.

Inherent Vice - Paul Thomas Anderson (2014) Third viewing. I'm still trying without success to fathom out the plot. Like The Big Sleep, it doesn't really matter I guess.

Una Majer Fantastica - A Fantastic Woman - Sebastian Lelio (2017) Love, death and consequences. Very well done Chilean transgender drama. This is the second memorable film from Chile I've seen, the other being Gloria.

Hotel Salvation - Shubhashish Bhutiani (2016) A man decides to spend his final days in Varanasi. Good film that is the first feature film I've seen set in the city. Worth watching if you are into non Bollywood Indian cinema.
