San Francisco Chronicle reviews The Unforeseen
Here’s another one.
What’s unforeseen in “Unforeseen,” a superior documentary by Laura Dunn, are the consequences of a certain mind-set about mankind’s relationship to the world and, finally, to itself. The particulars of the story cover a political battle over a suburban development near Austin, Texas, but the filmmaker clearly has broader issues in mind…
…director Dunn makes the proceeding considerably more palatable by featuring interviews with many participants and observers, including Bradley, who comes across as a nearly broken man. Also speaking on camera is Robert Redford, who as a boy spent summers in Austin and says he learned to swim in Barton Springs. (Redford and filmmaker Terrence Malick, a Texan, are executive producers of the film.)
