Yeah and Criterion just released it on DVD last month too! As a nice little package from Criterion too.
The film could be categorized along with other documentaries about the trials and tribulations of making films like
Hearts of Darkness about the making of
Apocalypse Now. Or the unmaking/unraveling of a film like
Lost in La Mancha about Terry Gilliam's almost painful to watch at times production of
The Man Who Killed Don Quixote that fell to pieces.
(Poor Terry. I wish it would have all worked out.)
