"Scorsese Pays Tribute to Italian Cinema" . The New York Times . The four-hour film is a sequel of sorts to this director's comparably sweeping 1995 television documentary, "A Personal Journey With Martin Scorsese Through American Movies." It's no exaggeration to say that watching both films will forever change and deepen the way you look at cinema.
