Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner

Three and a half hours of the most fascinating documentary about film ever. That’s right, primarily you will learn absolutely everything, and when I write everything, I mean simply EVERYTHING there is to know about Blade Runner. But it goes into such depth that it can be taken as an amazing glimpse into the craft of filmmaking as a whole. Plus, everybody who speaks here have long since passed the stage when they feel they have to say “it was awesome and an honor to work with such and such". On the contrary the type of sincere confessions we hear are quite... exceptional. Initially I was worried that although it might be interesting, I would have to watch it in sections to be able to keep track. But I didn’t have to; it’s so incredibly absorbingly made that it flows by like water. This is more than just a DVD bonus. Dangerous Days is simply a work of art. I’m not exaggerating. (16/02/2008)

Dans le cadre des making-of, Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner est un magnifique exemple de documentaire parfaitement structuré, informatif à souhait et complexe dans la façon d’aborder son sujet. Difficile, donc, de ne pas lui donner cinq étoiles ! C’est un must pour qui est fan de Blade Runner (ou, à tout le moins, de l’une de ses versions). Quant à celles et ceux qui ne se sont pas laissés convaincre jusqu’à ce jour, ils y trouveront malgré tout un regard intéressant sur le processus de création d’un grand film et sur le rôle déterminant que jouent l’argent et les personnes qui ont l’argent. Ces trois heures et demie passent comme l’éclair et je serais encore volontiers resté un peu plus longtemps. (24/11/2018)
