About The Role of a Lifetime
The Role of a Lifetime raises questions about the ethical and social responsibilities of the artist and about the relationship between cinematic representation and historical record. Narkevicius's film emphasises the value of doubt and the impossibility of objectivity, while providing an intimate portrait of one of Britain's most distinguished and original filmmakers, Peter Watkins.
Directed by Deimantas Narkevičius, The Role of a Lifetime leans on a strong ensemble — Peter Watkins — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2003.
