      Audience Member Required material if you love cinema. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Fascinating introduction to pre 1960's American cinema from one of the masters. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Fascinating introduction to pre 1960's American cinema from one of the masters. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Simply put, it's a small movie course in film history. The level of information to take in is scary. So for anyone interested in filmmaking,this is a must watch. It also increases your love for Scorsese. Its really shows how much knowledge he has about the art form and how he uses a philosophy behind every single one of his shots. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member For any film nut or Scorsese fan, this is a dream movie. No one goes into the history of movies and each genre with such interest and passion as Mr. Scorsese himself.
