Documentário bastante interessante sobre um canal de televisão por cabo, sedeado em Los Angeles, que marcou o seu tempo com uma variedade incrível de filmes e a transmissão de muitas das versões intactas do realizador que sofreram com os cortes do estúdio e test screenings amaldiçoados. A personalidade complexa e o compromisso enorme do mentor do canal, Jerry Harvey, fazem também com que "Z Channel" seja tanto sobre filmes como sobre pessoas. Para quem andar à procura de referências para descobrir novo cinema, estas duas horas podem ser excelentes.

Terrific documentary about the first premium movie channel, which built a reputation for showing special and lesser known pictures, providing film viewers with a unique look at great overlooked flicks. The founder, Jerry Harvey, is focused on a bit, but the film primarily focuses on the various films shown on the channel, including Das Boot, Once Upon a Time in America, and 1900. Great film for fanatics of the craft.

Intriguing. My generation's equivalent is probably Netflix or movie blogs.

The story of Z Channel, one of the first cable TV stations in the US that went on to inspire a whole generation of filmmakers and cinephiles. But it's also the story of the rise and fall of its mastermind and chief programmer Jerry Harvey, a deeply troubled man. Xan Cassavetes' documentary is a good tribute and an inspiring story about the power of cable television but also about cinephilia in general. Its dark undertones are tastefully never used to an excess and through the use of plenty of behind the scenes anecdotes as well as people who were directly influenced by Z Channel, this is quite an entertaining and insightful work.
