Sinossi

As New A history and theory of going too far, "Film Follies" examines those rare pictures that are both cinematic landmarks and monuments to a director's hybris, from Griffith's "Intolerance" through to Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" and Carax's "Les Amants du Pont-Neuf". Seeming madness and wasteful extravagance, fantastic architecture and the haphazard structure of a musical revue: such are the landmarks of those improbably great (and greatly improbable) films Klawans calls "follies">
