Ensayo cinematográfico en defensa de los Derechos Morales de los cineastas frente a las manipulaciones que sufren las películas desde los orígenes del cine hasta hoy. Incluye fragmentos de importantes películas, como una escena en la que Felipe II (1559-1598) recorta una pintura de Tiziano porque no cabía en el espacio que le había reservado en El Escorial. Con esta acción el Rey de España se convirtió en el inventor del panning-scanning que en nuestra época altera el formato original de las películas. Este ensayo documental tiene su continuación en "Cineastas en acción", también del año 2005. (FILMAFFINITY)
Self
In 1972 and '73, film critic Richard Schickel made an 8-part series for American public television: 'The Men Who Made the Movies'. Each episode featured a prominent Hollywood director discussing his career in an on-camera monologue (actually an interview, with Schickel's questions edited out), interspersed with generous clips from his most famous films, accompanied by somewhat overwrought narration (written by Schickel and spoken by Cliff Robertson). It's regrettable that Schickel did not include Fritz Lang, William Wyler and John Ford in this series: all three were alive at the time, although Ford was quite ill.
