It would be simple to introduce Steven Spielberg to another person. You would have to simply bring Spielberg in front of that person, he would say “Hello!” and that would do it. That is because Steven Spielberg is so famous, that any introductory words would be senseless. Spielberg is Spielberg, one of the best directors of all times!

Already a living legend, the Oscar-winning director has chosen to break some personal myths (and to create others, probably) by accepting Richard Schickel’s challenge. Produced by Schickel, “Spielberg on Spielberg” features Spielberg talking to an unseen and unheard interrogator about his career.

He tells one of the most impressive American success stories: that of a young filmmaker who was brave enough to dare dreaming and who would eventually give the world some of the most famous movies, such as “Jaws”, “Jurassic Park”, “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” or “Schindler’s List” and “Save Private Ryan”.

As Spielberg has refused to record audio commentary tracks for DVDs of his movies, “Spielberg on Spielberg” would be the first time he talks about his works in any kind of detail.

Spielberg talks for 90 minutes about other directors and friends and about his well-known movies, commenting on other works too. For all of these and much more, TCM’s documentary is impatiently expected by the director’s fans and not only.

The creator of the sensitive alien buddy E.T., of Indiana Jones, of the scary white shark and so on has marked the lives of many generations, while his works have the unique property of not getting old.
