About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a detailed, interview-driven portrait of a major director and don’t mind a mostly admiring tone; Not for you if you want a short runtime or sharper criticism, like in Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse.
Pros: thorough career overview; lots of film clips; insightful interviews | Cons: often overly praising; long and sometimes dry; narration not for all
