John Ford, l’homme qui inventa l’Amérique

Both a storyteller and a builder of the American legend, John Ford was much more than a director of westerns – a role with which he is often identified. In his 50-year career, during which he made almost 150 remarkable movies, Ford, who still holds the record for most Oscars for direction, was determined to set the great American novel to film, going beyond legend to reveal its flaws. Against a background of desert landscapes and featuring a wide variety of interviewees, this interesting documentary depicts the impressive career and colossal body of work of the enigmatic director. A magnificent journey into the world of the man who shaped the legend of the West.
