The Story of Film: A New Generation

Northern Irish film critic and documentarian Mark Cousins turns his curious eye and capacity for wonder to the 21st century, considering films such as Moonlight, Parasite, I Am Not a Witch, The Farewell, Black Panther and Lover’s Rock, and reflecting on how filmmaking has innovated and evolved. Enchanting, and educational.
