What’s so exciting about this documentary is that it provides a seemingly introspective look at the filmmaker’s career. Spielberg is most certainly one of the most popular and widely known directors in the world of cinema, so it’s reliving to know that the filmmaker is finally getting the spotlight turned on himself. When you consider that Spielberg is very secretive when it comes to his filmmaking methods–refusing to do commentaries for example–this documentary provides a good opportunity to pick the filmmakers brain a bit.

While we wait for the ‘Spielberg’ to be released on HBO platforms October 7,2017, here’s the official synopsis for the film:
