Spielberg

Steven Spielberg has built an unrivaled catalogue of groundbreaking films over the course of his nearly 50-year career. Charting the evolution of this iconic figure, award-winning documentarian Susan Lacy draws on nearly 30 hours of exclusive interviews with the director, who opens up about his bittersweet childhood and lifelong obsession with moviemaking, his precocious early work as a TV "wunderkind," his rise to fame through an incredible string of blockbusters, his later forays into more serious dramatic films, and the personal and professional relationships he's cultivated through the years. Spielberg also includes insights from members of Spielberg's family, as well as friends and colleagues, plus clips and behind-the-scenes footage from many of his milestone films. (HBO Europe)
