Reel obsession

Documentary

This documentary about the culture of intense cinephilia in New York City reveals the impassioned world of five obsessed movie buffs. These human encyclopedias of cinema see two to five films a day, and from 600 to 2,000 films per year. This is the story of their lives, their memories, their unbending habits and the films they love.

VIBE

A deep dive into the lives of obsessive cinephiles, this documentary feels like a warm, slightly eccentric conversation with fellow movie lovers. It's a celebration of pure, unadulterated passion for film.
