'To share a common memory'
Scorsese narrates an overview of cinema films from the silent era to the late sixties and manages to combine an historian's objectivity with a Professional's subjectivity. Great swathes of time in cinema are explained in their filmic trousers. The stress on an individual's creativity as the driving force, the poetic invention of a work in film, is allowed to be through his narration and salient examples of class film.
'Personal' is all film. Scorsese loves his art. If you have ever loved in a cinema this documentary may just tell you why.
