"Hollywood" is a brilliant series on American silent films that was brought to us by Kevin Brownlow and David Gill--two men also responsible for other great documentaries on the silents (such as "Buster Keaton: A Hard Act to Follow", "Unknown Chaplin" and "Cinema Europe: The Other Hollywood"). This installment is all about the directors of the silent era.
A few interesting things you'll learn about in this one are how untrained many early directors (such as Allan Dwan) were, how the director directed, the use of music to keep actors moving at a proper cadence as well as looking at a few of the great directors, such as F.W. Murnau and King Vidor. All of this was very informative, fascinating and gave great insight into the craft. Extremely well done and a terrific installment in the mini-series.
