And then reality set in. I was hoping for a new documentary about films and that's not quite what Voir is. Judging from the first episode alone, Voir is an essay about film. The episodes are short, ranging in length from 18 to 22 minutes long. Which is good, because I don't think I could take much more of Summer of the Shark, the first episode of Voir.
Summer of the Shark revolves around the movie Jaws and the effect it had on two young sisters growing up in California. The sisters saw the film over forty times, staying through multiple viewings every chance they got. One of the sisters is the narrator of Ep01. She talks about her mother's abusive relationships, living on food stamps and hanging out the beach with the surfer kids. She talks about the profound effect the film had on her and movie making in general, how Jaws spawned the blockbuster mentality in Hollywood. But no films were ever as good as Jaws.
There wasn't any talk about how the film was made. Or any other films for that matter. It was all about these two sisters and watching movies.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
