摘要

Capturing the essence of someone's legacy can be an elusive endeavor, especially when the subject is a family member. Nevertheless, that's the task undertaken by filmmaker Stuart in Savage Memory, a biography of his great-grandfather, iconic anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski (1884-1942), who revolutionized the techniques used in anthropological fieldwork.
