Bruce Weber is a professed animal lover, and this film centres on his
own dogs, a family of gorgeous golden retrievers, including "True." A Letter To True
is a stunning look at the affection, loyalty, and unconditional love
displayed by these animals - which the filmmaker sees as a metaphor for
peace and hope in the world.
In a highly personalised commentary, Weber
interweaves his personal obsessions: music of the 50's and 60's, home
movies of Dirk Bogarde in Provence; conversations with Elizabeth Taylor
(another great dog lover), recollections of friendships past, and
speculation about how our lives have been changed by the events of
9/11. Tying these various strands together with a poet's logic, A Letter To True
is a little like staying up late with Bruce Weber, listening to great
music and peeking into the mind of a world class connoisseur.
