  1. To eavesdrop on Bernardo Bertolucci, Stephen Frears, Ken Loach and John Sayles, as they talk politics; David Lynch and Todd Haynes, discussing inspiration; and Catherine Breillat, Agnès Varda, Richard Linklater and Liliana Cavani as they riff on controversy and aspiration, even for a little while, is a real treat.
  2. 60
    First time documentarian Angela Ismailos has interviewed ten noteworthy international directors about their art, and then cut them together by skipping back and forth between their voices like an iPod in shuffle mode.
  3. Her (Angela Ismailos) heart's in the right place, but her subjects' ruminations demand a much larger canvas.
  4. 38
    Rarely have clips from so many good and great movies been put to such dull use.
