kevin w A loose thumbnail overview of the early years of pop film culture, film snippets with voiceover narration to provide context, circa the 1900s - 1920s. Like sitting perhaps with an older relative and going through old photographs it's heavy on nostalgia and aimed at a generation that has itself long passed away. Let it wash over you. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
