  Printculture : William Eggleston in His Own World
One of the things I did was watch “William Eggleston in the Real World,” the 2005 documentary by Michael Almereyda about the photographer whose groundbreaking 1976 solo show at MoMA put color photography on the art world map.
The voyeuristic, raw quality of this footage is meant to be revealing, and of course in some sense it is—we hear Eggleston's own musical compositions, for example—but as a piece of cinema, it comes off as boringly pretentious, affected in a way Eggleston's photographs are not.
Ultimately, the unevenness of the film is reflective of the fundamental tension between Almereyda's desire to understand Eggleston and his desire to emulate him, or maybe the difficulty of achieving understanding through emulation.

U2 seem to own the hotel they are staying in, as if no one else is staying there but the group and their entourage, as if, like the Rolling Stones a few weeks before them, they have booked every room in the place.
