Summary
When seminal documentarian Ed Pincus, considered the father of first person non-fiction film, is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he and collaborator Lucia Small team up to make one last film, much to the chagrin of Jane, Ed's wife of 50 years. Told from two filmmakers' points of view, One Cut, One Life challenges the form of first person documentary. Ed and Lucia's unique approach to filming offers a vulnerability and intimacy rarely seen in non-fiction, questioning whether some things might be too private to be made public. The film is an intense, raw, and sometimes humorous exploration of the human condition which invites the viewer to contemplate for themselves what is important, not only at the end of life, but also during. Lyrical, profound, and in places unexpectedly humorous. A moving tribute to a great documentary filmmaker - Ed Pincus - by another gifted documentary filmmaker - Lucia Small. - Ross McElwee, Director of Sherman's March and Time Indefinite Complex and intimate... No-holds-barred first-person filmmaking. - Tom Roston, The New York Times
