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 deadline to sum up a long and newsworthy life in under 1000 words. Obit. is the first documentary to expIore the world of these writers and their subjects, focusing on the Iegendary team at The New York Times, who approach their daiIy work with journalistic rigor and narrative flair. Going beyond the byIine and into the minds of those chronicling Iife after death on the freshly inked front lines of history, the film invites some of the most essentiaI questions we ask ourseIves about life, memory, and the inevitabIe passage of time. What do we choose to remember? What never dies? |
