what about Kiarostami's Close-Up, or even 10, or
Samira Makhmalbaf's The Apple? Or even Godard's
Euloge d'amour? I have a sense that these could be
read as documentaries which are 'pretending' to be
fiction. A reverse-mockumentary approach. That is, if
you consider the re-enactment a true part of the
documentary vocabulary. But with godard we have the
interview, indisputably a documentary tool.
And somewhere in there is an examination of the
techniques we associate with truth-telling and
history, though the films are more factual than
fictional.
