Side By Side (2012) (Doc)


For anyone who truly loves cinema this is a fascinating look at how the biggest and the best (Scorcese's in it!) directors feel about both digital and photochemical film making. The pro's and con's get discussed for both and a nostalgic fondness for the good old days of hard work over quick and easy are too, i do not know enough about the subject to comment but it's fun to watch those who do. It never gets too technical thankfully and Keanu is a great choice for narrator and interviewer as he puts both the audience and the directors at ease. You get Keanu Reeves interviewing some legends about movie making, and they usually have the odd great story, what more as a film fan do you want? Nothing that'll do me.


Like This Watch These: The Story Of Film: An Odyssey (2011) (Doc) The wonderful Mark Cousins mini series is enlightening and great, Scorcese On Scorcese (2004) (Doc) Hearing Marty talk about anything makes my day, Life Itself (2014) You don't see much of the movies that Roger Ebert spent his life talking about but it is interesting.
