The Story of Film: An Odyssey

Documentary that try to show a broader audience some overlooked movies from world cinema and for that alone this documentary is necessary to watch as it deliver some titles even a movie fan may not have heard so much of. Interesting points about invention against money business. Some good movie directors and actors/actresses interviewed. Since it is all about personal favorites there is a lot of films that one would say is both inventive and successful that I miss and pretty much anything from fantasy, horror and exploitation is left out even though this is an important part of the story of film. The dark side of film: porn should also have been touched upon since it is just as much an integral part of film as the art-films, but I guess Mark Cousins didn't want to have his hands "dirty". It is superb for what it is, but it could easily have been 10 episodes longer.
