Artie Shaw: Time Is All We’ve Got

Brigitte Berman’s Oscar-winning documentary about the charismatic clarinetist and bandleader Artie Shaw is an intoxicating deep dive. A self-proclaimed “very difficult man,” Shaw wanted to be a writer, was married eight times, and often tried to circumnavigate the inanities of his profession. Berman's doc captures the self-taught virtuoso and polymath in all his genius and complexity with an all-star roster of interviewees, including jazz luminaries Mel Tormé and Buddy Rich.
