User Reviews

A Masterclass in cinema

A Masterclass in cinema, shot with care and beauty, edited masterfully and filled with emotional and visual grace notes. I always love what Alexandre creates, but this is a rare gift, a chance for us all to be in the room with Friedken to share this perfectly curated conversation. Every filmmaker should be required to watch this.
