TCM’s ‘Story of Film’ Is the Most Thrilling Movie Event of the Season

With Telluride wrapping up and Toronto looming, the list of eagerly anticipated fall titles is growing by the day. But the most exciting film event of the season begins tonight on Turner Classic Movies, where Mark Cousins’ epic documentary The Story of Film kicks off a 15-week run. Every Monday through December 9th, and every Tuesday through the end of October, TCM will broadcast one hour-long episode of The Story of Film, which is adapted from Cousins’ book The Story of Film: An Odyssey. (Physical copies aren’t directly available in the U.S., but you can buy the e-book here.)
