The Story of Film: An Odyssey (2011)

Director: Mark Cousins
The story of film: An odyssey, is a documentary film about the history of film. presented on television in 15 one hour chapters with a total length of 900 minutes. Mark Cousins is a film critic from Northern Ireland and the documentary  is based on his 2004 book 'The Story of Film'.

It has been a great watch for me over the last three weeks. By the choices of inclusion and omissions of films, one can get an idea about the taste Cousins have for films and since it matches my taste I didn't find it problematic. A must watch for those who love films and their history.

Rating: 5/5
