Diagram for Delinquents
Jun 15, 2014In 1950, America was in a state of panic. Juvenile delinquency was destroying the very fabric of society. Ninety percent of all children were reading comic books. In 1954, psychiatrist Dr. Fredric Wertham wrote a scathing indictment of comics called Seduction of the Innocent. Its central premise: Comic books were the leading contributing factor to juvenile delinquency. That same year, Dr. Wertham testified at special hearings on comic books at the Senate Subcommittee to Investigate Juvenile Delinquency in the United States. Comics were on trial. Diagram for Delinquents captures the zeitgeist of late 1940s and early 1950s America and investigates how the funny books found themselves on the fire. Using expert and comic book insider interviews, never seen before historical photographs and films, and animation, DIAGRAM goes further than any previous comic book documentary to explore and understand the controversial figure at the center of this American tale: Fredric Wertham.

Comic Book Superheroes Unmasked
Jul 01, 2003Industry insiders like Stan Lee and Neil Gaiman (The Sandman) reflect on the way their colorful creations reflect society at large. They have spread from the pulpy pages of nickel comics to Saturday morning cartoons, the big screen and beyond.

Filled with classic images from DC and Marvel Comics as well as extensive interviews with modern masters of the graphic novel like Neil Gaiman and Frank Miller (The Dark Knight Returns), this documentary, originally aired on the History Channel, goes far beyond the superficial escapist fantasies to probe the forces that shaped the characters who have become legend...

Documentary
Documentaire qui nous plonge dans la trilogie Batman de Nolan. Il s'ouvre sur l'inspiration et la vision des nouveaux films de Batman et s'achemine vers le final de Rises, qui est l'aboutissement de près d'une décennie de sang créatif, de sueur et de larmes. Candide, réfléchi et exhaustif, et composé de séquences révélatrices en coulisses, d'innombrables entrevues, de cassettes d'audition (avec Christian Bale et Cillian Murphy portant la cape et le capuchon), et d'une prise et d'un élan narratifs qui lui sont propres, il ne laisse rien à désirer.
