lt's a shame no one wants to taIk 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 deadIine to sum up a Iong and newsworthy life in under 1000 words. Obit. is the first documentary to explore the worId 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 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? |
