Dancing as fast as he can
Keith Gordon has made a couple of my favorite films, The Chocolate War and Waking The Dead, in his career as a filmmaker after acting in such films as All That Jazz–he’s the lead character as a youth in flashback–and Back To School–he’s Rodney’s son.
His latest film is The Singing Detective, based on the much praised BBC miniseries of the ’80s. I don’t know if it’s as good as those others, but there’s an interesting interview with him here. I’ve linked to the last page in the interview because I especially like what he has to say about the Academy screeners controversy–first thing that explained to me why it mattered a damn.
