Massoud, the Afghan
 
French documentarian Christophe de Ponfilly followed Afghan resistance hero Ahmed Shah Massoud numerous times, and offers a broad portrait of the man, seen while fighting both the Soviets and, later, the Taliban. But de Ponfilly's footage seems too abbreviated (and doting) to give much insight into Massoud. What we're left with are some indelible images of Afghanistan, and little else. (1 hr. 30 mins.; NR) — BILGE EBIRI
