JAMES GRAY, THE MOST MODERN OF THE CLASSICS
A documentary directed by Claire Duguet
In eight films, from Little Odessa to Armageddon Time, James Gray has explored all genres—crime, science fiction, adventure, drama. He has established his style, classic yet rooted in the present, blending nostalgia for the American dream with social critique. His rejection of Hollywood’s conventional rules likely makes him the most European of American filmmakers. This immersive portrait takes place in his home in Los Angeles.
