Movie Reviews of Image of an Assassination - A New Look at the Zapruder Film
Movie Review: Excellent DVD about the history of the Zapruder film.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent DVD about the restoration of the Zapruder film. The film itself runs almost 45 minutes and there are four different versions of the 26 second Zapruder film (close-up frame in slow motion/full frame/medium frame in slow motion/wide frame with sprocket holes). The bonus material itself is just as good and includes the WFAA TV interview of Abraham Zapruder by Jay Watson that runs almost 7 minutes. The "Good Night America" segment from 1975 with Geraldo Rivera and Robert Groden that runs 20 minutes. The rights negotiations with LIFE magazine with Richard Stolley that runs 14 minutes. And finally a short video of Kennedy's arrival in Dallas that runs almost 2 minutes. Be sure to buy this DVD along with Richard Trask's excellent book on the Zapruder film "National Nightmare on Six Feet of Film."
Summary of Image of an Assassination - A New Look at the Zapruder Film
One of the most important documents of the 20th century is now available to the public for the very first time. Witness the assassination of president john f. Kennedy in the first-ever digitally enlarged version of the zapruder film. Studio: Mpi Home Video Release Date: 07/07/1998 Run time: 45 minutes Rating: NrThis first commercially available video version of the legendary 26-second "Zapruder Film"--the 8mm record of John F. Kennedy's 1963 assassination, which was filmed by Abraham Zapruder--provoked a storm of controversy when it first appeared on video shelves. Added to the National Film Registry in 1994, this historical document remains a significant record of one of the nation's most devastating events and is still cited as a key piece of evidence in the debate over the truth of Kennedy's murder. This unprecedented release has been digitally mastered with the approval of the Zapruder family. An accompanying documentary, which explores the mastering process in detail, features a short portrait of Zapruder and a fascinating history of the film's official and unofficial showings up to the present. The tape also includes a frame-by-frame analysis of the film, a chronology of events, and additional historical video. This short film is still too gruesome and upsetting for many to watch, but Abraham Zapruder's famous home movie remains to this day one of the most controversial pieces of filmed history. --Sean Axmaker
