Ignores (as does everyone) the Brighton School (and Abel Gance).
Quotes Hitchcock (Vertigo) in the wrong place (referring to the standard master shot / two shot language).
Doesn't spend nearly enough time on the sixties and the nouvelle vague (where's Hiroshima mon Amour for example, or my personal favourite Last Year at Marienbad, and the knock-on effect in the UK and throughout Europe, Czech cinema, par example?)
And - crime of crimes - to feature Tony Gibbs but to not show any of his films??
Perhaps not enough on not cutting e.g. Wyler The Little Foxes.
And of course, let's not mention Powell and Pressburger. Let's not, by all means.
That clip though from Man with a Movie Camera is SENSATIONAL.
Shows how closely some directors are working with their editors (Spielberg, Tarantino, Payne).
Most interesting contribution of Jack Nicholson to his montage in The Pledge (the great Jay Cassidy).
