Does it work without the payoff of seeing the film and understanding what the artistic vision was going for though? I’m not sure, not to say the documentary isn’t engrossing.

Personally I feel like you could watch the documentary without seeing the film and still have a superior experience, but that’s just based on my own experience. To me, watching the chaos happen during filming felt way more satisfying than the film itself.
