Synopsis
A penetrating documentary of a legendary filmmaker, narrated by the renowned film critic Richard Schickel. Excerpted works include “Birth of a Nation”, the dramatic fire scene in “Way Down East”, and the epic spectacle of “Intolerance”. The gifted and intuitive Griffith was more concerned with ideas and stories of his own choosing rather than box office draws.
