Movie guide: Two publishing power brokers -- Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb -- collide and collaborate in TurnEveryPage
"Turn Every Page" - ★ ★ ★ ½ Civil wars over semicolons and heated debate over the word"looms" would not, on the face of it, seem like the stuff of a gripping big-screen movie.
Gottlieb, who has edited Toni Morrison, Charles Portis, Salman Rushdie and many others, is exaggerating, of course."Turn Every Page" is not about foes, though it's harder to say if it's about friends. On Caro's request, they aren't interviewed together in"Turn Every Page," and each even initially refused Lizzie's interest in filming them. But as she toggles between each subject, her film leans on their similarities and parallel courses, sustaining the balance of writer-editor back-and-forth.
Author Robert Caro, left, and editor Robert Gottlieb, shown here in 1974, worked on the book"The Power Broker," which is discussed at length in the documentary"Turn Every Page." - Courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics Caro's fifth LBJ volume is to be their last book together. The question of whether they'll both live to see it finished, you could say, looms over"Turn Every Page," as do past battles over the overuse of some of Caro's favored dramatic words.
