A new light on Hollywood’s greatest director, offering a unique perspective on his work, digging into the Cinema Master’s personal influences. Discover what makes Spielberg’s whole world so special through great archives and testimonies.



Singular and conventional, daring and conformist, worldly and solitary, these are the paradoxes that define the life and work of Steven Spielberg from start to finish. Centered around three main themes – his childhood, America, and the Holocaust – this portrait of the director, the incarnation of the "New Hollywood", will focus as much on the director's biography as on his works, in a never-before-seen documentary thanks to the numerous archives and testimonies he has given throughout his career.

Because masterpieces’ creation is also the fruit of personal obsessions (skillfully concealed behind imaginary or historical plots), the documentary will use many clips from his films, influenced by his life experience, to illustrate the rise of a young prodigy who started on television before becoming one of the most emblematic filmmakers of the last four decades, and a prolific producer in a very competitive industry.
