Handmade with Love in France

Charming portrait of the world of artisans who work for the great couture houses of France. I enjoyed learning more about how fabric is pleated and hat molds made. The subjects call themselves dinosaurs, and they are. (As an aside,  the women who buy couture are creepy. They all had collagen lips and ironed hair and impossible shoes.)

808

Documentary about the Roland 808 drum machine. Great interstitial graphics, tons of music and talking head musicians, a bit overlong. But oh, it's so sweet to see a pair of Beastie Boys telling a story together and bickering like an old married couple. If you enjoy those docs where musicians get all excited about that thing they did in the studio one time, you'll dig this.
