Excerpt:
With a new Alex Gibney documentary in select theaters, you’ll forgive us for waxing nostalgic about our own Gibney experience and thinking back to Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2015.
That HBO blockbuster (the most watched documentary at the network in ten years) was a collaboration between Gibney and Lawrence Wright, bringing Wright’s superb book of the same name to the screen, and your Proprietor was fortunate enough to play a part in it.
We were thinking about those days, and reflecting on where things stood 11 years later, as we set out yesterday morning a little after 7 am for our journey to see Gibney’s new movie, Musk.
If you’ve heard anything about Gibney’s examination of Elon Musk, it’s probably that the movie clocks in at nearly four hours, and includes a ten-minute intermission. We figured if we left the house early enough, we’d make it to Lincoln Center AMC with time to spare for the 10 am screening. And then have time to pedal home by about 5 pm.
