Award-winning filmmaker Mark Cousins provides a worldwide guided tour of the greatest movies ever made and tells the story of international cinema.
EPISODE 9. The maturing of American cinema of the late sixties and seventies: Buck Henry, writer of The Graduate, talks exclusively about movie satire of the time. Paul Schrader reveals his thoughts on his screenplay for Taxi Driver. Writer Robert Towne explores the dark ideas in Chinatown, and director Charles Burnett talks about the birth of Black American cinema.


EPISODE 10. The movies that tried to change the world in the seventies: Wim Wenders in Germany; Ken Loach and Britain; Pasolini in Italy; the birth of new Australian cinema; and then Japan and the most moving films in the world. Even bigger, bolder questions about film were being asked in Africa and South America, and the story ends with the extraordinary, psychedelic The Holy Mountain.
