The Story of Film: An Odyssey
A Review
Film critic and historian 'Mark Cousins' uses film clips, interviews with filmmakers, and illustrative footage of locations around the world to take viewers through film and filmmaking history, from the late 19th century to today, with a particular emphasis on world cinema. The film was broadcast in September 2011 on More4, the digital television service of UK broadcaster Channel 4. The film was also featured in its entirety at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival, and it was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in February 2012.
This film was very interesting because I never understood film from the point of view presented. I really enjoyed watching this in math class because my teacher is very interested in film herself. The narrator had a slamming accent. He took us through the history of film, and it was truly a fun and memorable experience.
