There Are Not Thirty-Six Ways of Showing a Man Getting on a Horse

About This Movie

So, here’s a film that really plays with the form. Nicolás Zukerfeld digs deep into Raoul Walsh's work, weaving together this supercut that’s more like a meditation on cinematic language than a conventional doc. The pacing’s interesting—has this rhythmic quality that almost pulls you along, while you sift through all these images and moments. It’s not just a celebration; there’s a layer of critique running through it, very much alive with humor and wit. The atmosphere feels like wandering through a gallery of film history, yet it's all stitched together with this playful, yet thoughtful, narrative thread. It’s definitely distinctive, standing apart from typical documentaries that just recount facts. You sense the joy in the editing and the choices made.
