Incredibly well-done. The director of this doc knows to stand back, letting the scenes and speakers do the work. Feels unrushed, conversational, and uncorrelated in a surprising manner. It's a damn fine look out of some windows that beg a wander.

Well done. Interesting things are shared. Very stimulating viewing.
The directors inevitably offer up interesting insight into their philosophies, and why they work the way they do, but the potential is brought to a near dead-stop by random editing choices and confusing sequencing.
A diverse group of cinematographers, simple but very well done documentary and Angela Ismailos' perception is unique with interesting questions about their creative practices. It is also good to see Agnes Varda, Catherine Breillat and Liliana Cavani speaking of their works. Lots of good references for further watching.
Excellent gathering of the greats, and really good insights into what makes a film truly cinematic.
