Rave review of Frederick Wiseman’s AT BERKELEY in The New Yorker
Frederick Wiseman, one of our greatest and most prolific documentarians, always delves deeply into his subjects and for his latest, AT BERKELEY, that’s more true that ever. He found one of California’s great treasures, U.C. Berkeley, such a rich subject that it required a four hour film. It is receiving some rave reviews, including this one from one that most astute of film critics, David Denby of The New Yorker. We are proud to open AT BERKELEY this Friday at the Music Hall.

NPR: “‘Capital’ Thrills In A Global Game Of Thrones”
NPR just gave CAPITAL a great review. Ella Taylor writes “Costa-Gavras’ film excels as a meticulously researched procedural that goes deep into the grime of greed, deception and cynical exploitation. But it is also a wickedly clever character analysis of a man more divided against himself than his preternatural calm suggests.”
