WHO IS HENRY JAGLOM? American Cinema

Who is Henry Jaglom? With an entire spectrum of opinions, including interviews with Candice
Bergen, Andrea Marcovicci, John Landis, Peter Bogdanovich, and Milos Forman, with footage
from the making of Jaglom’s movies, and with new material from Jaglom mentor Orson Welles,
the filmmakers have woven a fascinating and off-beat portrait on Jaglom that explores this question.
Hailed as a maverick of cinema, cited as the great actors’ director, Jaglom, to many, is that
guy in the hat whose personal movies, like Eating, VeniceNenice, and Someone to Love seem
almost indescribable. Whatever people’s reactions to Jaglom, they almost always are extreme.
Ultimately, the way Jaglom lives his life is the way he films his movies; the lines between art and
life blurred to confusion. Shown with Chuck Workman’s That Good Night (U.S.A., 1994, 11 min.),
about the impressions of a middle aged jogger who is paralyzed in a freak accident.
