Fade to Black

Episode 10 of 10

Author and film critic David Thomson explores how cinema has changed him - and us: are movies still a place to dream? From 2011.

As his highly idiosyncratic journey through the power and magic of cinema comes to a close - film critic and writer David Thomson considers whether, under the relentless spread of visual media, and in the age of instant delivery, the dream palaces are places to dream anymore?

Producer: Mark Burman.
