Six by Sondheim

Documentary looking at the career of the great Stephen Sondheim with focus on 6 of his greatest songs.

Extremely well put together documentary using footage / interviews of Sondheim over the years, cleverly edited so that he essentially narrates the whole thing. Beyond that is Sondheim himself who is a tremendous raconteur and speaks quickly and eloquently about his great love of music, how he composes and what he has done right and wrong over the years. There is clearly some deep sadness and vulnerability to the man but he has overcome this to write great shows and become, seemingly, a really nice guy.
