About This Movie

Kristoffer Tabori, son of the legendary Don Siegel, reads excerpts from his father's book A Siegel Film, which adds a familial and reflective tone to the narrative. The pacing is a bit slow for some, but it allows for a thoughtful examination of the filmmaking process and the themes of identity and paranoia that Siegel's work often explored. The practical effects of the original film are touched on, and you get a sense of the passion involved in the creative choices. It’s a distinctive piece, offering insights that only a personal lens can provide.
