May 3, 201270Just marginally a documentary, Chronicling a Crisis turns out to be one of Amos Kollek's more affecting films.
-
60As that description suggests, the film winds up a rather grim, often indulgent muddle. But it's also undeniably compelling.
-
50Alternately tedious and illuminating, this deeply honest and scattered movie revels in its lack of purpose.
-
25There's little reason to see the claustrophobic Chronicling a Crisis unless you have a fascination with the Kolleks. Watching the vanity project is like being forced to sit through a friend's boring home movies.
