Louis Theroux: Savile2016

This is such a grim watch but man do I love a Louis docco. The great man is so open here about his relationship to Saville and the guilt he feels over being blinded by him at the turn of the century, and the film as a whole really shines a light on just how disturbing and far-reaching Saville and his actions were and how he was able to get away with it for his whole life. I think you can really tell that Louie has since made it his mission to be much harsher (perhaps not the right word idk) on his subjects following how he failed to properly interrogate Saville, though that seems to have been an impossible task at the time. Think I’m about to go on a big binge of a bunch of his work (Theroux’s, not Saville’s).
