LitFilm: Turn Every Page - The Adventures of Robert Caro & Robert Gottlieb & talkback
Documentary, dir. by Lizzie Gottlieb
U.S., 2023, 112 min
Turn Every Page explores the remarkable 50-year relationship between two literary legends, writer Robert Caro and his longtime editor Robert Gottlieb. Now 86, Caro is completing the final volume of his masterwork, The Years of Lyndon Johnson; Gottlieb, 91, waits to edit it. With humor and insight, this double portrait reveals the work habits, peculiarities, and professional joys of these two ferocious intellects at the culmination of a journey that has consumed their lives and impacted generations of politicians, activists, writers, and readers.
The film will be followed by a talkback with director Lizze Gottlieb who will discuss the film and the long relationship between her father, Robert Gottlieb, and Robert Caro. Lizzie will be in conversation with author Colm Tóibín.
