A Letter to True (DVD)

Filmmaker Bruce Weber turns the camera on his own life in this abstract and poetic film, which focuses in particular on Weber's relationship with his golden retriever dogs, one of whom is named True. Weber's summer house by the sea, his personal friendships (including conversations with Elizabeth Taylor and home movies of Dirk Bogarde in Provence), his reflections on life in America post-9/11 and the effect of a close friend dying of AIDS are among the strands woven together in this highly personal documentary. Julie Christie and Marianne Faithfull co-narrate.
