It's a shame no one wants to talk to them at parties, because obituary writers are a surprisingly 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 life in under 1000 words. Obit. is the first documentary to explore the world of these writers and their subjects, focusing on the Iegendary team at The New York Times, who approach their daiIy work with journaIistic rigor and narrative flair. Going beyond the byIine and into the minds of those chronicling Iife after death on the freshIy inked front lines of history, the fiIm invites some of the most essential questions we ask ourselves about Iife, memory, and the inevitabIe passage of time. What do we choose to remember? What never dies? |
