Sheffield Doc Fest 2017 The BBC Interview Louis Theroux meets Nick Broomfield
Nick Broomfield's interview by Louis Theroux with Film Clips at Sheffield Doc Fest in June 2017.
In a career spanning more than four decades, Nick Broomfield is one of the most influential documentary makers of our time. Having initially carved his name in hard hitting observational fare, when ‘Driving me Crazy’ went awry in 1988 Nick decided to place himself in the story, going on to make a number of acclaimed films including Biggie and Tupac, Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of A Serial Killer and Kurt & Courtney. Nick returned to Doc/Fest in 2017 with his latest film, Whitney ‘Can I Be Me’.
In the 2017 BBC Interview, Louis Theroux, himself no stranger to being centre of the action, talked to Nick about his career and latest film.

Wow, it's a trip to hear both of their voices have a conversation with one another after hearing them for so long in documentaries. It's like Batman and Superman having a conversation for the first time.

Don't really see how that would work, they play the same part in their respective works. They write their documentaries and paint the picture from their personal perspectives of how the story unfolds.
I really wish nick would do a final follow up of juvenile liason. I'd absolutely love to see what happened to all of them since 1990
Just a quick note... Nick Broomfield was 69 years old when this was filmed.

Love both Nick Broomfield and Louis Theroux's work, love the style of these documentaries, im not a huge fan of sit down interview documentaries that are interjected with footage and photo's....but some are worth watching they do tend to be very formulaic though. What are some of your favourites?

@@wolfman5181 Great it's good to see that he still has fans. I wish Broomfield was more active; I'm looking forward to his latest project being released. I'm a big fan of all his work so it's hard to pick a favorite. The Leader, his Driver, and his Driver's Wife was always one of my best, plus it's sequel. Possibly my favorite moment in his documentaries is in Kurt and Courtney when Nick highjacks the stage at an ACLU event in protest of the fact that Courtney Love was speaking for them. Once I saw that I was his biggest fan. Have you any favorites?

I would have wanted to know if he thought about his target audience, when making a film. I would love to make a couple of documentaries, to correct some bad documentary histories, but I'm sure there are loads of things I haven't yet realised, about the story telling process, & how to get it right. Pace, or rhythm, is a massive mystery to me!

Lol seeing as neither of them are jewish... what exactly is 'jewishness'? They have both said many times that are atheists. I was brought up a catholic and went to a catholic school but I identify as being agnostic/atheist, haven't been to church un 15 years and think that christians are total hypocrites and the bible is nonsense... would you say I'm still a catholic?? If not then why do you say they are jewish? :/ there's a lot of bitterness and anti-antisemitism going on from you mighty keyboard warriors

Jews aren't just a religion. They still consider themselves Jews even when they aren't observant or don't believe in God. There's a type of Jew who views the Jewish people as God. Theroux and Broomfield are classic crypto-Jews. If you observe Jews enough it's easy to spot them.
