Industry Reviews "[Scorsese's narrative] includes archival interviews with directors, extracts and stills from the films discussed and his own commentary. While the stills are superb, the context is often wanting. 'Movies', Scorsese concludes, 'fulfill a spiritual need that people have to share a common memory'." Wayne
