Regarding Susan Sontag
- Synopsis
- An investigation into the life of one of the most influential and provocative thinkers of the 20th century. This documentary tracks Sontag’s life through evocative experimental images, archival materials, accounts from friends, family, colleagues, and lovers, as well as her own words as read by Patricia Clarkson. From her early infatuation with books to her first experience in a gay bar; from her early marriage to her 15-year relationship with legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz, the film examines a towering cultural critic and writer whose works on photography, war, illness, and terrorism continue to resonate today.
