Carol Reed: The Gentle Eye (2017)

This documentary on the career of celebrated filmmaker Carol Reed (1906-1976) features surviving collaborators and film historians discussing his versatility, as well as his impact on British cinema. One intriguing insight offered here is the influence of the British documentary movement of the '30s and '40s on Reed's filmmaking, which places 'The Third Man' (1949) and 'The Man Between' in a fascinating national lineage, leading up to the kitchen-sink cinema of the '60s.
