This is easily the greatest and most comprehensive history of film documentary I’ve seen. Narrated in Mark Cousins’ distinctive Northern Irish voice, he begins with the birth of moving images and travels across continents and eras to explore the silent era, Hollywood’s golden age, film noir, global protest cinema, the birth of the summer blockbuster, the rise of multiplexes, the digital revolution, and everything in between. It’s not just a timeline though, it’s a passionate, deeply personal love letter to movies, a universal language that continues to evolve through innovation, culture, and daring creativity. It’s 15 hours long, but well worth the ride.
