Can anyone tell me whatever happened to Kent MacKenzie? It's the sort of film that is such a revelation that one wants to see more by such a talented filmmaker.<br>Miguel MaríasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222475879097604897.post-62842830341499362902008-07-26T00:53:00.000-04:002008-07-26T00:53:00.000-04:00Thanks for a thoughtful commentary on one of my fa...Thanks for a thoughtful commentary on one of my favorite documentaries (the designation somehow seems a little inadequate, doesn't it?) ever. It is really nice to see THE EXILES come into its own at this late date. It has always been around, and I've seen it several times since it was first completed in the early 60s but it's never had any kind of wide release. It will be playing here in L.A. soon as well, with a number of screenings--UCLA I believe though don't have that calendar in front of me.<br><br>Wherever you are, if it comes around, I too recommend that people see it. The subject of Indians is one that deservedly can arouse intense feelings--MacKenzie knows this but eloquently observes without any preaching. He always takes the high road, and the tragic and existential aspects of this come over better because of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
