“Hugo? Who’s he?”
apart from omitting the only ‘kids film’ Marty ever made, this is an amazing and enthralling five part documentary on the king of modern cinema
I want to rewatch his whole filmography now

should have been a shorter summer! I found this a chore really. Demands a lot of the audience and maybe I just didn’t have the patience. Some striking imagery and a bit of a whiff of The Zone of Interest about it.
