James Ivory is about to turn 95 years old. The director won the Oscar for best adapted screenplay for Call Me By Your Name.
His documentary, James Ivory, the long journey, has just been released by Filmin. In it, he re-watches the images filmed during the trip he made to Afghanistan at age 32 to shoot a film financed by the Rockefeller family, which he never got to edit. The documentary works as an epilogue to his long career and seems to respond to the will to tell his side of the story with transparency.
