Mark Cousins' The Story of Film: A New Generation

A follow up to The Story of Film: An Odyssey, looking at movies from 2010 to 2021. Starts with clips from superhero movies and one of those computer animation movies, stuff I haven't seen and have no curiosity about. Watching this didn't make me want to see them. I watch so many terrible movies, you'd think I'd be more open-minded. If Mark Cousins can appreciate them, shouldn't I make an effort?

But feeling guilty for not forcing yourself to watch more TV seems crazy. 

Discusses foreign films from India, France, Philippines, Nepal and elsewhere, documentaries, slow cinema, mostly movies I'd never heard of.  

Free on Tubi, Plex and Xumo, Prime Video for $1.99; free on Fandango, Apple TV, Hoopla and something called Free Movies+.

The Story of Film: An Odyssey is free on Tubi, Roku Channel, Criterion, Plex, Xumo, Prime Video, Filmzie, and Freevee.
