Profoundly interesting insight from a human being of many facets. Inspiring and informative in equal measure for any with a creative bent or just for fans of the film or man himself. Perfect.

Friedkin was a genius! The Excorcist is one of my favorite films of all time and I had no idea of the depths of detail that went into every frame! I could listen to that guy talk all day about film and art.
i knew the exorcist was an artistic masterpiece, but listening W.F describbing his artistic view of it is just awesome! great watch!
