While there are sporadic moments of informative exploration of themes, production, and historical context, its desire to hold its readers along in its scene-by-scene recreation feels more akin to the film with an audio commentary but translated into words for us to endure through. I am assuming the audience has seen the film, and so I felt that its methodology feels viscous and futile. In the end, I am glad this film had an edition within the series as it is clearly deserving of it, I simply think it could have replaced its scene-by-scene pacing with avenues of interpretation or greater exploration of historical influence.
