Remember that Spike Jonze and Lance Bangs-directed documentary on “Where The Wild Things Are” author Maurice Sendak we told you about last week?
Titled “Tell Them Anything You Want,” the doc airs October 14 on HBO and the New York Times has a clip that’s almost 3-minutes long from the show called “You Make My Heart Sing.” Yes, someone is clearly trying to make us weep.
Yes, there is plaintive Erik Satie music in the doc, deal with it. Some of the footage is not that different from the interviews you’ve seen in that ‘Wild Things’ featurette, but is still interesting to watch nonetheless. [NYTimes]
Just wanted to let you know that this is screening at Cinefamily in LA on Wednesday @ 8, along with several short films that Spike Jonze made during production, and the original 70s animated shorts of Sendak's work on 16mm!
(Wednesday, the 30th that is!)
