COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY CHARLIE PHILLIPS IN THE
GUARDIAN
Want to win an Oscar?
Stay on the straight and narrow
In the first of a
monthly documentary column, our critic bemoans the dearth of daring film-makers

honors, do daring people win?
Rarely, if ever, does even high quality win.
It is just the nature of organizations, like bureaucracies,
to sink into mediocrity and safety.
