 Billy
Wilder Speaks 2006 Wilder was renowned for being one of
the wittiest men of his era. Many of his choice anecdotes are on
display in the documentary. Filmed for German television. Volker
Schlondorff, an accomplished filmmaker himself, sat down with
Wilder for a series of interviews, during which the two pros
switch from English to German with fluid ease. Wilder tells of
the famous actors he worked with Marlene Dietrich, William
Holden, and Jack Lemmon, and he touches on the enigma that was
Marilyn Monroe, with whom he worked in The Seven Year Itch and
Some Like It Hot.
The stories will be familiar to Wilder fans.
Schlondorff does well in drawing Wilder out about his experiences
for the U.S. military during and after World War II, when Wilder
was involved in obtaining footage of the concentration camps. He
also tells a scathing story about his bitter reaction when a
studio executive suggested changing the nationality of a
villainous character in Stalag 17 from German to Polish, in order
to make the film more palatable in the profitable

 Personal
Journey With Martin Scorsese Through American Movies 1995
"I
can only talk about what has moved me or intrigued me," says
filmmaker Martin Scorsese... at the beginning of this four-hour
documentary about his passion for U.S. cinema. This personal
journey with Scorsese is the perfect antidote to the artificial
doctrine of the American Film Institute's so-called 100 best
films. The British Film Institute, did a brilliant thing in
enlisting Scorsese to speak at length for this project about the
history of film. Working with Michael Henry Wilson, Scorsese
takes a highly intuitive and heartfelt approach in describing how
a number of filmmakers (some famous, some forgotten) carefully
layered their visions against the resistance or eccentric whims
of powerful producers.
Film clips are plentiful, but they are
also more than window dressing for nostalgia buffs. For instance,
it's not unusual for Scorsese to return repeatedly to the same
film (as Vincente Minnelli's The Bad and the Beautiful) in order
to connect points. In the end, this work is truly one of
Scorsese's most direct. It has the sort of documentary that makes
cinephile weary by junk culture & fall in love with movies
all over again

 The
Documentaries of Louis Malle - Eclipse Collection
Over the course of a nearly forty-year career, Louis Malle forged a reputation as one of the world’s most versatile
cinematic storytellers, with such widely acclaimed, and wide-ranging, masterpieces as Elevator to the Gallows, My
Dinner with Andre & Au revoir les Enfants. At the same time, Malle was creating a
more personal body of work as a documentary filmmaker. With the discerning eye of a true artist and the
investigatory skills of a great journalist, Malle takes us from his French homeland to India to the United
States. Six Disc Set Includes: Vive Le Tour Humain, Trop Humain Place de la Republique.
An energetic evocation of the Tour de France, a meditative investigation of the inner workings of a French automotive
plant. Malle called his groundbreaking Phantom India the most personal film of his career.
This extraordinary journey to India, is infused with his sense of discovery, as well as occasional outrage,
intrigue & joy.
Calcutta: Malle found that the footage shot in Calcutta was so diverse, intense, and
unforgettable that it deserved its own film. The result is at times shocking - a chaotic portrait of a
city engulfed in social and political turmoil, edging ever closer to oblivion.
God's Country 1979 Malle traveled into the heart of Minnesota to capture the everyday lives of the men and
women in a prosperous farming community. Six years later, during Ronald Reagan's second term, he returned to find
drastic economic decline. Free of stereotypes God's Country is a stunning work of
emotional and political clarity.
Pursuit of Happiness 1986, Malle, set out to investigate the ever widening range of immigrant experience in America. Interviewing a variety of newcomers (from teachers to astronauts
to doctors) in middle & working-class communities from coast to coast, Malle paints a
generous portrait of their individual struggles in an increasingly polyglot
nation (Click on Title to Buy)
