Did we miss something on diversity?

What's the Story?
David Fincher produces a platform for cinephiles to shine in VOIR, a documentary series that analyzes various films through visual essays. Each episode concentrates on a writer talking about their favorite movies, from Jaws, to Taxi Driver, to Beauty and the Beast. Paired with these essays are interviews with filmmakers, writers, artists, and directors as they discuss the artistic process behind these films. Throughout it all, Voir shows how varied the impact of a film can be.
Is It Any Good?
This series is endearing, analytical, and nostalgic at times. Though Voir starts slow, it picks up speed when interviewing professionals in the industry. There are many dynamic shots, clips, and graphs that make these essays visually pop. One scene follows animator Glen Keane talking as he sketches. One essay focuses on a writer talking in an empty theater as movies they mention flash across a projector.
The thought-provoking essays in Voir frequently surpass the appeal of the film itself. They provide depth, dissecting character archetypes, genres, audience reactions, and the film industry. Overall, the series offers a chance for film buffs to eagerly engage with films beyond their surface.
