My wife and I are both big fans of John Berger, and when I heard he was going to be making a documentary I was very excited. I had heard the negative comments and I felt that it would be unfair to do a documentary on one of the most influential figures of our time. It turns out that we were right. This film is more of a biography than a documentary. Berger is a polarizing figure, both because of his work as a writer and his controversial views. Some have said that his work was over the top, but I felt that his writings were often self-righteous and self-absorbed. He had a reputation for being a shallow and self-absorbed man, and I think that he was not able to keep his head above water in the face of the controversy that came with his work. This documentary takes a look at Berger's writing, and his life. The film is quite fascinating, and I think it does a very good job at making the viewer feel like they are a part of his life. It is very well edited, and the film is very well produced. The only problem with the film is that it does not give you a lot of background on John Berger. It gives you a brief synopsis, but it doesn't give you any background on his life, and I think that it is important for a film to do this. In addition, the film focuses on the literary and artistic side of Berger, which is fine, but it is not enough to make the film a great one. Overall, I thought that this film was well done and well worth watching. The only problem is that it does not give you a lot of background on John Berger. However, it is a great documentary, and I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the man. I rate this film 7/10.

I love John Berger, but when I heard this documentary was being made I thought "I've got to see it, I'm not going to miss it!" So I watched it and was impressed, but I had to do some more research. I came across this website and read all the reviews. I'm not going to say this is a good documentary. It is not. It is just.well, it's a documentary. I love John and I love the music, but this documentary has a really poor plot. It just seemed like they were talking about all the songs and how great they were, and how much they loved the band, and how they were sad. I'm not a fan of the band, but I was able to hear the music, and I was able to understand what they were talking about. But I didn't care about the facts. I just wanted to hear them talk about how great their music was, and how great their lives were. This documentary was good, but I would not recommend it.

The Seasons in Quincy: Four Portraits of John Berger is a documentary about the life and work of writer John Berger. It's a rather slow documentary and even the final segment is a bit hard to understand. But I guess that's just the way it is in the documentary world. It is worth watching if you want to know about John Berger and if you like documentaries. And I do recommend it.

John Berger (of the Sputnik and The Washington Post fame) makes his directorial debut with this documentary about his life in New York and Boston. While I'm not sure I would classify this as a documentary, it certainly looks and feels like one. It's the sort of documentary that feels a bit like a documentary, but is much more of a character study of the man. Berger had a fascinating career, not only in his work for the New York Times, but also in his writing. He was the author of several books on art and architecture, and he was also the main architect of the Boston Public Library, and also a co-founder of the New York Times. And in all of this, he was a passionate and principled liberal. This is a fascinating story, and I certainly recommend it.

A remarkable film that takes you to a place that is far beyond any of the concrete images we normally see in films. The documentary tells the story of the writer, artist, and philosopher John Berger. John Berger was born in Russia, but his family moved to Germany and eventually settled in Boston. He studied art at Harvard, then became a prominent critic of political and social matters. In the early 1900s he founded the magazine, The New Republic. Berger was an avid reader of poetry and was interested in history and literature. The documentary shows him in his life, his work, and his thinking, as he contemplates the effects of war, of war-time and of war-revenge. He says that the great wars were about more than fighting. The film was made by David Kestenbaum, who also made "Bourne Identity" and "The Incredible Hulk." He is a very intelligent and accomplished documentary maker. I recommend this film highly.

I didn't expect much from this film. After all, John Berger is a great painter, but this film is just another portrait of him. It is very fascinating to see the art in this film, but I was very disappointed that there was not much of his personal life in this film. Also, some of his artworks are very dated, especially his work with glass. The documentary is also very interesting, but I think it could have been a lot more complete. Also, there were some scenes that were very "painting by numbers". For example, when he was painting with a glass tube. I think that he was very successful, but I would not have minded if there were more of his paintings that were more personal. In addition, the film is very slow, which I think is a problem for this documentary. It's very interesting to see how his life went from painting to being a successful artist, but it's very hard to follow the story. Also, there were a few scenes that I think could have been done better. Also, I think the film could have been more "artsy" and dramatic. Overall, I thought that the film was very interesting and very interesting to watch. However, it's not a film that I would want to watch over and over again.

One of the most interesting things about this film is the way it can make you think about your own life. It's quite a difficult topic to be addressed, but the film is done in a way that makes it easy to see how this is actually possible. I don't think that it is meant to be an argument against religion, I think it is meant to show the influence that it has on people. It is very interesting to see how much Berger's life was influenced by religion, and how much he loved his religion. He has a pretty interesting story about why he went to church, and how he got involved in politics. He also discusses how he has changed as an individual and what he believes about religion and the state of the world. He is very passionate about the importance of religion in his life, and how it has influenced him. I also like how this film doesn't show how much he hates religion. He doesn't go around saying that religion is bad, he just thinks that it is important for the individual to believe in something that is true. He also doesn't talk about how religion has influenced his life. I think that this is very important because it shows that he doesn't hate religion, but he also doesn't think it is important. It also shows that he does not have a problem with religion per se, but he has a problem with the influence that it has on his life. This is a very interesting film to watch because it shows the influence religion has on people. I recommend this film to people who want to see how a person's life is influenced by religion. This film is very interesting and it makes you think about the importance of religion.

This is an interesting look at the life of one of the most influential American philosophers of the 20th century. The documentary is very well-made, and the production value is first-rate. The actors are first-rate, as well, and the style of the film is very "realistic" and "natural". The soundtrack is excellent, too. It really adds to the experience. The images are very interesting, and there are some interesting insights into the life of John and his philosophy. The footage of John in his youth is very fascinating, and he was a very charismatic and influential figure. The documentary is pretty well-made, and the subject matter is interesting. It is a good documentary, and it is worth seeing. It is an interesting look at the life of one of the most influential American philosophers of the 20th century.

This is a good film, if a little slow. There's a lot of personal stuff in it, but I think it's important to get to know the people involved in this documentary. I especially liked the video of the interview with Peter Coyote, the lead singer of the band, the Pretty Things. Peter is the author of the book, "Distant Determination." This is a good film, and I think it's worth seeing.

I'm not a big fan of the actor who plays John Berger, but this documentary did a good job of capturing his voice and his thought processes. He is a person who is full of ideas and has a lot to say about everything from the Vietnam War to the Gulf War. His message is that peace and love are the most important things we can give to our children and that we should not sacrifice them for anything else. I've never seen a documentary that covered so many subjects at the same time. Some of the things he says are funny and some of the things he says are shocking. This is one of those documentaries that is worth watching. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as well.

The title of this documentary, "Four Portraits of John Berger," is a bit of a misnomer. John Berger is not a man who lives by his words, and his writings are mostly verbal. "Four Portraits" is not a documentary. The idea is to show a few of Berger's paintings, and to talk about his creative process, and his political philosophy. Berger's life is in no way about the paintings he has created. This is not a biography. This is a portrait of an artist, and a master of his craft. This is a portrait of a man who has lived a life of constant struggle, and who has often made his art as a means of expression for the great injustice he experienced in his childhood. I was impressed by this documentary, as it captured the essence of the man and his creative process. I was also impressed by the depth of his emotional responses to his art, and his humanistic philosophy. As an art critic, I find that a lot of the artistic work that people create is not a reflection of their own creative processes, but rather a reflection of their own experiences, and the challenges that they faced. This documentary is a fascinating and informative look at the man behind the paintings. For the most part, the interviewees, although their opinions are very diverse, are very honest and articulate. I was especially impressed by the way that the interviews were edited, and by the way that the images were used to help us understand the thoughts and feelings of the interviewees. The only minor criticism I have about this documentary is that some of the images were not very good. The images were great, and they captured the depth and beauty of the subjects, but some of the images were not very good. I was more impressed by the images than I was by the interviews, but still I would recommend this documentary to anyone who is interested in the life and work of John Berger.

This film is, simply put, a biography. It was shot entirely in one location in which the photographer was at one time the owner of a record store, and it is narrated by the photographer. There is no attempt to present the photographer as a character. There are no "Boys from Brazil" or "Tenderness of Strangers" segments. Instead, this is a film about John Berger. Berger was a very successful artist who came from a working class background, and he has gone on to be one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. This film is about his life, and is not a biography. That being said, the film is good. It is entertaining and informative. However, it is also too long and I had to fast forward through many of the events. The director does a good job at keeping the viewer interested, but it is a bit too long for what it is trying to accomplish. The film could have been much shorter and more digestible. I gave it a 7 out of 10, and it would be a 7 out of 10 if the film were presented in a more digestible format.

This documentary follows the life of John Berger, the leading political theorist of the twentieth century, who taught at MIT and Harvard. It is well-made and has a lot of footage, especially of his early days at MIT, and interviews with some of his students. It also tells the story of his life in Boston and Cambridge, where he lived and worked. The film shows many of his works and gives his arguments and arguments for the things he taught, which are all good and important. I recommend this film for anyone interested in politics, philosophy, and intellectual history.

This film follows John Berger (played by Michael Caine), who has written, directed, and produced two of the most successful movies of all time, The Story of Us and Four Seasons in Quincy. I'm glad to say this film has the power to touch any viewer, whether they have seen the movies or not. I would recommend this film to anyone, who is an avid film buff or a film lover. You will be touched and moved by this film, and you will feel that you've gotten the whole story. And if you don't like it, you're not a film buff, you're not a film lover. So go see it anyway, and you'll get your money's worth.
