This is not just an in-depth study of cinema, it is comprised of lushly edited into idiosyncratic segments rather than genres or a linear history. He compares the nuances of seemingly disparate films dialogically. It's almost lyrical. Partly because the narration is different than traditional documentary. The dialogue is almost poetically sung. There's an affection in the inflection that is worthy of the subject matter. Watch it in segments, giving yourself time to reflect on each one. I saw this over a period of three days at The Traverse City Film Festival and again on TV. I took film studies in art school in the 70's. I wish the instructor had such insight.
