...better films (and they are not many in comparison to those he has messed up) Altman has used his peculiar style - mumbled dialogue often overlapped, a restless camera zooming, panning, tracking - to obscure the fact that they have very little to say. The lives he recounts are hopelessly muddled and ruled by chance and coincidence, with their outcomes generally a nasty surprise both to the players and to us in the audience. The way he encourages (or at least permits) his actors to improvise makes him a beloved figure to them, and permits his more impressionable viewers to feel they...

Gittoes' energetic camera records a life for the Lovett family no less harrowing than the abuses at Abu Ghraib. "It's very rare that people come to see us," says brother Marcus, "unless it's something tragic...
...words prove sadly prophetic: during Rampage's filming, a family member was shot dead by a rival street gang. Gittoes films the funeral and the fruitless police search for the culprit, but also turns the camera on himself, suggesting that the attention he's brought to the community is partly to blame for the crime. "This is the problem with documentary filmmaking," he says at one point. "There are lives at stake...
