FPB Rating: 16(SV) Ursula Macfarlane Erika Rosenbaum Nannette Klatt Ken Auletta. Ultimately, however, this documentary belonged to the women. Disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein comes under the spotlight on Sunday night as BBC Two airs the documentary Untouchable: The Rise and Fall Of Harvey Weinstein. The journalist Rebecca Traister described the moment when he called her a c**t at a party. Who knew what? Jack Lechner, the former head of development at Miramax, was even able to admit that he still feels “conflicted” about Weinstein, his sense of guilt at his alleged crimes in frequent combat with his memories of the years when Miramax delivered hit after hit after hit. But in every other way he was ordinary, even pathetic: the pock-marked skin and the hotel bathrobes, the cottage-cheese belly and the bad jeans. What he means is that Weinstein – the producer who will stand trial on charges of rape and sexual misconduct in January – behaved appallingly to all those who worked for him, irrespective of gender. That’s the real lesson here. Rachel Cooke trained as a reporter on The Sunday Times. In a certain way, I admired the honesty both of this man and of the several other paunchy, greying fellows who appeared alongside him. Yes, Weinstein was rich and powerful, and he operated in that ersatz realm (Hollywood) in which beauties are apt to go along with beasts. Easily brought to rage, his tantrums were the gild on the frame of his self-mythology. I understand what Traister means when she says that, in Weinstein’s disgrace, there lies a danger that we come to believe a problem has been solved; that nothing really needs to change; that he was a grotesque lone wolf. This documentary belonged to the women. Try it free for 14 days. Close to the beginning of Ursula Macfarlane’s powerful film about the rise and fall of Harvey Weinstein (2 September, 11:45pm) one of his former employees describes him as an “equal opportunities abuser”. “He pushed and pushed… He’s huge…” recalled Hope d’Amore, who’d worked for him when he was still a Buffalo concert promoter.
Weinstein himself appeared hardly at all. The question, largely unspoken, haunted every interview. We saw him shouting at some paps. Genre: Documentary, Biography Year: 2019. With Erika Rosenbaum, Nannette Klatt, Ken Auletta, Ronan Farrow. Untouchable flips the timeline of Weinstein’s story by opening on May 25, 2018 when the producer had surrendered to the police in the presence of a sea of reporters. In the 2006 British Press Awards, she was named Interviewer of the Year.This article appears in the 06 September 2019 issue of the New Statesman, “I quit, and your brother is a fucking pig,” said Kathy DeClesis, a former assistant to Bob Weinstein, having handed him a letter from a law firm that outlined an allegation of assault against Harvey (Bob Weinstein denies all knowledge of his sibling’s alleged crimes). Weinstein himself appeared hardly at all. Beside these testimonies, the feelings of guilt described by some male Miramax employees seemed flimsy indeed: retrospective memos-to-self that could, you felt, very easily be scrunched up later and thrown into the nearest bin. Close to the beginning of Ursula Macfarlane’s powerful film about the rise and fall of Harvey Weinstein (2 September, 11:45pm) one of his former employees describes him as an “equal opportunities abuser”. If he could get away with it, for so long and with such profligacy, so could anyone – or at least, they could try. Untouchable. No. He was, moreover, surrounded by lots of smart, liberal-minded people, many of whom were every bit as rich and powerful as him. Watch trailer.
