With all this debate I wonder if anybody else feels that the whole thing is just a little disingenuous.
Here we have the film maker filmed asleep in bed to be woken at the crack of dawn by Zorn, already up and working at the mastering suite. (Who was waiting camera in hand to catch the moment? How come there is a camera on Zorn while the director lies asleep in bed?)
The filmmaker gives up her attempts to film the master and, despite his prolonged pieces to camera (a filmed lecture?), he slips enigmatically away.
But wait a minute the whole thing is published on Zorn’s own label.
Perhaps all is not quite as it seems.

And I think the chance to see so much Zorn in action is great. I’m really pleased I bought the film.
