Well, it appears that I'm the first person reviewing Ross Spears's Academy Award-nominated "Agee". This documentary focuses on writer and critic James Agee. It mostly features interviews with people who knew Agee, as well as reenactments of scenes from Agee's life and readings of his works. I've never read any of his works, but have seen some of the movies to which he contributed. The point is - and the documentary makes this clear - that James Agee was an indispensable member of the literary scene in the '30s, '40s and '50s. Whether writing about poverty, the body politic, cinema, or something else, Agee always had something to say. Anyone who wants to consider themself well-read should read at least one of Agee's works. In the meantime, do watch this documentary.

PS: Agee also wrote a review in The Nation of the Bugs Bunny cartoon "Rhapsody Rabbit", which features Bugs as a concert pianist.
