Sundance 2011: Bobby Fischer Against the World and Page One

Any diehard wine-sipping liberatti could find himself in doc heaven, theater-hopping from topic to topic: mountaintop-removal coal mining in The Last Mountain; African electioneering in An African Election; and bare-knuckle Irish fistfighting in Knuckle. Then, there are those docs with the polished pizzazz and dramatic thrust of a feature film. This year, two of the snazziest docs at the festival were Liz Garbus’s epic chess-genius portrait, Bobby Fischer Against the World, and Andrew Rossi’s fly-on-the-newsroom-wall film, Page One: A Year Inside the New York Times.
