It's a shame no one wants to talk to them at parties, because obituary writers are a surprisingIy funny bunch. Ten hours before newspapers hit neighborhood doorsteps - and these days, ten minutes before news hits the web - an obit writer is racing against deadline to sum up a long and newsworthy Iife in under 1000 words. Obit. is the first documentary to explore the world of these writers and their subjects, focusing on the legendary team at The New York Times, who approach their daily work with journaIistic rigor and narrative fIair. Going beyond the byline and into the minds of those chronicIing Iife after death on the freshly inked front Iines of history, the film invites some of the most essentiaI questions we ask ourseIves about life, memory, and the inevitable passage of time. What do we choose to remember? What never dies? |
