Love and Politics is a beautifully shot, fly-on-the-wall look into the rehearsal process of Korach, one of the last plays of Judith Malina. Its direct cinema style gives the impression that the viewer is a friend who lives in her building, following her around. It's really quite engaging and Judith is a heart-warming character. At times, this movie feels like a mix between Grey Gardens and Don't Look Back. Al Pacino narrates and also adds some really fascinating insight into his involvement in her Living Theatre project in the 60s. Definitely check out this very short but interesting documentary!

Never before has a documentary about theatre been as bold and has had this much access to a director of the caliber of Judith Malina. Framed by snippets of her latest play, the octogenarian artist reveals her message of love and persistence despite the societal forces that turn away from compassion, understanding and artistry. This film sits proudly on my bookshelf and every film lover owes it to him or herself to watch this wonderful piece.
