A legendary figure in the history of film preservation gets a fine documentary

Without this documentary, virtually nobody would remember this man... every cinephile in the world owes a great debt to this heroic figure.

Without Langlois, some absolute classics of film history would not be in existence... especially silent films, like Pastrone's "Cabiria", Wiene's "The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari", Von Stroheim's "Greed" and Murnau's "Sunrise".

A well worth-while experience.

Quotes
Henri Langlois: [referring to his trip to receive an Oscar in 1974] When I arrived in L.A. I thought that the Oscar was like our Legion of Honor. But it's much more important than that because everyone and his brother gets one of those eventually. An Oscar is truly a serious matter. I didn't realize how much it meant. It's comparable to being chosen as a master craftsman by one's fellows in the time of the guilds.
