Is cinema the art of point of view? Jocelyn Moorhouse, Ida Lupino, Norway's Edith Carlmar, Sofia Coppola, Italy's Liliana Cavani, Kelly Reichart, the great Larisa Shepitko, Jennifer Kent and other great directors demonstrate the art of POV in films. If close ups give movies their intensity, films from Belgium, Hungary, Australia, Finland, China, America, France, Germany and Ukraine, shot over ten decades, show how best to do that intensity. One of the great movie stars, India's Sharmila Tagore, narrates this bold chapter that looks at dreams in films, from Wayne's World, to experimental film, to Jane Campion, Sally Potter, Bulgaria and silent movies.

Refuge, shelter, or prison? Sharmila Tagore narrates the story of home on screen in the great films of Edith Carlmar, Lynne Ramsay, Mai Zetterling, Liu Jiay-in, Forough Farrokhzad, Antonia Bird and others. Narrator Sharmila Tagore takes us on a global tour of great films about religion. We start in America in the 1910s, go to Sri Lanka in the 70s, and dip into the work of Lucretia Martel, Jessica Hausner and Marjane Satrapi. Work seems too unglamorous for cinema, but as narrator Jane Fonda tells us, in films like AMERICAN HONEY, the silent Russian masterpiece WOMEN OF RYAZAN, Venezuela's ARAYA, Patty Jenkins' MONSTER and Mary Harron's AMERICAN PSYCHO, some of the most engrossing scenes show work.
