Falk film on Ebert list of year’s best documentaries

16-Jan-11 – Famed film critic Roger Ebert has been a fan of the documentary about Marina City resident Vincent Falk since June 2009 and last week said officially it was one of “the best documentaries I saw in 2010.”

Writing in the Chicago Sun-Times on January 12, Ebert again called the 95-minute film, produced by Jennifer Burns, a former waitress at Smith & Wollensky, a “remarkable documentary.”

“If you’ve been near Marina City in Chicago, you may have seen him,” writes Ebert. “He’s the smiling, middle-aged man with a limitless variety of spectacular suits.”

Vincent: A Life in Color is one of 17 documentaries that Ebert noted. (Left) Falk with just some of his suits.
