On the occasion of the release of “The Fabelmans”, his most personal film, let’s explore in video the reasons why Steven Spielberg is the greatest storyteller in the history of cinema.
If each new Steven Spielberg film is an event, The Fabelmans is perhaps a little more so than the others. Because, after having evoked them in a more or less pronounced way in his previous opuses, the director openly confronts his childhood and the divorce of his parents, experienced as a trauma, under the public eye.
In the running for seven Oscars on March 12, including those for Best Director and Best Film, The Fabelmans mixes the true and the false (otherwise it would be called The Spielbergs) and looks like the culmination of its author’s cinema in at the same time that it gives us new keys to reading it.
The director recounts the birth of his passion for the 7th Art, the divorce of his parents and the way in which the realization was able to allow him to overcome this traumatic event, with the brilliance that we know him and which makes him one of the major figures in the history of cinema.
But how does he manage to tell stories that touch us so much, passing from one genre to another? How does he fit into History, he who more than once took us into the past? In a few words: why Steven Spielberg is the greatest of storytellers?
