Reviews for Martin Scorsese Presents: Val Lewton
Like any good documentary, Val Lewton: The Man in the Shadows makes us want to know more....
We may not learn much about who Val Lewton was. We may never truly know what made him tick. And we might find ourselves too engrossed in what we see and hear to even care.
'The Man in the Shadows' is an admirable and uniquely organized documentary about Val Lewton and his brooding works of darkness.
