Giveaway: Win Albert Maysles's IRIS On Blu-ray From Magnolia Pictures And ScreenAnarchy
Thankfully, before he left us, Maysles completed work on Iris, a documentary about fashion icon Iris Apfel. Our own, Chase Whale reviewed the film in advance of its North American theatrical release shortly after Maysles death in April:
Iris continues the tradition of Maysles' style of fly-on-the-wall filmmaking. You forget he's there until someone, and in this case, Iris, addresses him -- which she does quite often and in the most endearing ways. We even see Maysles while she's praising him to folks around her, and he doesn't break concentration when another cameraman pans to him during that moment -- when shooting, he was always in the zone. There will never be another like him.
In celebration of Maysles legacy, and the home video release of Iris from Magnolia Pictures, we've got two copies of Iris on Blu-ray to give away to lucky ScreenAnarchy readers. Just send me an e-mail with your name and U.S. address to enter, it's that simple. Entries should be sent here: josh [at] ScreenAnarchy [dot] net, by October 30th.
Good luck!
