The Buzz

The documentary tale of a Hollywood screenwriter -- not just any writer but A.I. (for Albert Isaac) 'Buzz' Bezzerides, a movie writer, as it turns out, for the ages.

Buzz laid much of the foundation for the genre that became known as film noir on which the Tarantino's and Soderbergh's now firmly stand.

[The] film traverses Buzz's career with reasonable depth, helped by good-quality trailers from several pics.

Even though it's too long and needs editing, for anyone interested in Hollywood folklore, this is a must-see.
