The Making Of Ryan's Daughter
2006 · Documentary · 63 min. · United States
Feature-lenght documentary, divided in three episodes (Storm rising, Storm chaser and Eye of the storm), describing the making of Ryan's Daughter as well as the critical reaction to it. There's a very general view taken on the pre-production and the actual shoot pulling away from that for a few specific scenes, being Michael arriving in the village with his lobster, the villagers taking their revenge on Rosy and the rescue of the arms shipment from the Atlantic. The final part of the documentary examines Lean's reaction to the critical drubbing handed to Ryan's Daughter, after which he retired from directing feature films for fourteen years.
