Podcast: David Lean Movie Series
With the second Extra Film director Movie Series, the focus shifts to the films of David Lean. Known for big-scale filmmaking, Lean has made some of the greatest films of all time. Starting with smaller projects, Lean built a reputation as a steady, innovative director with excellent quality, leading to his stretch of epic storytelling starting in the 1960s that we don’t see made anymore. Ryan has seen most of Lean’s work, while Jay is less familiar with his films. Join us for this series and see if we think Lean ranks as an all-time great director or not.
