A Personal Journey with Martin Scorcese Through American Movies - Part 1 and 2


A Personal Journey with Martin Scorcese Through American Film - Part 1 and 2 (1995)
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112120/]

The Gist:
Perhaps I should just count this as one entry, I still might. In any case, its something of a mix between a documentary and textual body of film history. However, it not only provides an insight on American film, but also the films that Scorcese was influenced by in particular. He opens the film up by saying that "I can only talk about what has moved me or intrigued me". The entire program is five hours, split into three part, and it is a remarkable and passionate guide into film.
