Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner

Three and a half hours of the most fascinating documentary about film ever. That’s right, primarily you will learn absolutely everything, and when I write everything, I mean simply EVERYTHING there is to know about Blade Runner. But it goes into such depth that it can be taken as an amazing glimpse into the craft of filmmaking as a whole. Plus, everybody who speaks here have long since passed the stage when they feel they have to say “it was awesome and an honor to work with such and such". On the contrary the type of sincere confessions we hear are quite... exceptional. Initially I was worried that although it might be interesting, I would have to watch it in sections to be able to keep track. But I didn’t have to; it’s so incredibly absorbingly made that it flows by like water. This is more than just a DVD bonus. Dangerous Days is simply a work of art. I’m not exaggerating. (17.02.2008)

In the making-of genre, Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner is a marvellous example of a perfectly structured, information-packed documentary with a complex approach to the subject, so I can’t not give it the highest rating. It’s a must-see for all fans of Blade Runner (or at least of one of its cuts). And for those who haven’t come to like Blade Runner to this day, it’s still a valuable insight into the process of making a great film and it also shows the critical role of money and money people. These three hours and a half fly by in the blink of an eye and I could have enjoyed watching it a bit longer. (24.11.2018)
