Notes by Robert Reneau.
(1940) while displaying Bozetto’s own distinctive vision and sensibility. The film is divided into six segments, each animated to a piece of classical music, including Claude Debussy’s “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun,” Maurice Ravel’s “Bolero,” and Igor Stravinsky’s “The Firebird.” The sequence set to Jean Sibelius’s “Valse Triste” that focuses on an abandoned cat is a heart-rending highlight.

The film version of the acclaimed non-fiction book about the Watergate scandal went into production less than three years after the original break-in at the Democratic National Committee offices, and the result was a thrilling, tense, and stylish docudrama that retells the true story with unusual authenticity. Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford star as Washington Post investigative journalists Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, and the stars are supported by an expertly chosen cast including Hal Holbrook as Deep Throat, Oscar nominee Jane Alexander as a key witness, and Jason Robards as Post editor Ben Bradlee in his first Oscar-winning performance.
