John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture Instead of a lesson plan, there are Saturday nights on Beale Street and a kind of moseying of the camera into crevices of passionate enthusiasm. Jan 27, 2018 Full Review Ted Drozdowski Boston Phoenix The best and most complete introduction to recorded blues available. Jul 2, 2018 Full Review K. Leander Williams The Nation [Scorsese's] desire for a throng of personal pictures that rambled like the earliest blues men and women has also resulted in a series that at times feels unwieldy.

Audience Member http://filmreviewsnsuch.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-blues.html Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A tutorial for those who don't understand the complexity and breadth of the blues. Worth watching a second time too. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This series of different directors look at the blues is fascinating. Wim Wenders' episode is especially fantastic. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member By farming the project out to 7 different directors, Scorsese is able to give the subject a more personal touch than your typical Ken Burns PBS fare. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Scorsese hired the right assortment of collaborators in his Blues series. Wenders truly understands music, as is evident in Buena Vista Social Club. The Blues series is always insightful and musically inspiring. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Magnifique serie de documentaire sur le Blues, j'adore celui de Wim Wenders Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
