Remake: A Grief-Soaked Documentary That Keeps Its Secrets
Remake follows Ross McElwee as he chronicles his son Adrian’s life and fentanyl death, weaving decades of footage with new reflections to create a devastating, memory-essay documentary that also revisits Sherman’s March; it meditates on time, aging, and the filmmaker’s impulse, ultimately offering no tidy conclusions and preserving the mystery of Adrian’s life.
