"The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life" is an Academy Award winning documentary short film from 3 years ago and it takes us on a journey into the life of Aliza Sommer-Herz. She is the heart and soul of this film here and I certainly enjoyed watching her tell about her past. I also liked the video and photo footage from this film. These were my favorite parts. I guess I would have preferred a bit more focus on the lady in number 6 instead of the other lady as a film with this short runtime is perfectly fine if it only covers one person during its entirety. Apart from that, I was not too fond of writer and director Malcolm Clarke narrating himself. They should have used some professional. However, as the narration is sparse, it's nothing that could destroy the film. For Clarke, it is already the second Academy Award and he won it no less than 25 years after his first while scoring another nomination in-between. Sadly, the protagonist in here did not live to see this major success, but then again her age is still an incredible achievement. As a whole, I recommend this documentary. Thumbs up.
