Rarely has there been a movie with such a literal title, but then it's science, not fiction. In that context there's no room for a title implying mystery or hidden meaning. Instead, it puts it squarely in contention for programming on the Discovery channel. It is biology, diversity, and adventure… and one of the five nominations for the Best Documentary Oscar for 2002. It is also the stuff the most exquisite dreams are made of. Jacques Perrin, producer of such hugely successful French films as the exciting Z and the compelling Cinema Paradiso, has turned to films about nature, such as Microcosmos (insects) and Himalaya for his more recent successes. read the full review | |

 | | 44. Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill | | | Director: Judy Irving | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/26/2005 | | The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/20/2008 5:15 PM | | Perhaps if Judy Irving’s The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill had been released in any other year, I wouldn’t be so judgmental and hard to please. Since 2005 has already had two major documentary releases about animals (Grizzly Man, March of the Penguins), I was more than willing to sit through another one, but I wasn’t going to cut it any slack. It’s not that Mark Bittner, the self-appointed caretaker of the red-crowned parrots on San Francisco’s Telegraph Hill, isn’t a lovable, interesting character. On the contrary, he seems like a warm, tender loner who is mistaken for a gauche eccentric like Timothy Treadwell (the main focus of Grizzly Man). read the full review | |
