THE STORY OF FILM: AN ODYSSEY
November 4, 2013  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 2:15 a.m. ET

 

Depending upon the content of each week’s documentary, this imported film history series either gets a prime-time slot, or is pushed to later at night. Tonight’s episode, Part 9, is the latest push yet, so if you’re following and enjoying this series, set your recorders, because it shows up at 2:15 a.m. ET, and has the clunkiest title yet: 1969-1979 – Radical Directors in the 70s Make State of the Nation Movies. And its focus includes movies from Australia, two of which are given the prime-time treatment by TCM: 1979’s My Brilliant Career (starring Judy Davis, pictured, at 8 p.m. ET), and 1975’s Picnic at Hanging Rock at 10:15 p.m. ET.
