More distinctive and revealing are the fannish tributes to tough guys Jean Gabin and Eddie Constantine, innovative composers Maurice Jaubert and Joseph Kosma, and forgotten auteurs Edmond T. Gréville and Pierre Schoendoerffer.

This is Tavernier's own film story so don't expect a linear, full history of the cinema of the time. However, it's anything but dry, as the film swoons with passion for Gallic films and filmmaking.

Rating: 4/5 --
A treasure trove of expertly chosen clips, rare interviews and behind-the-scenes footage mean the daunting three-hour running time leaves you wanting more.

Even when he discusses the big names, it’s from the perspective of someone with both appreciation for the minutiae of movie craft and a firsthand knowledge of the personalities involved, veering a sharp left away from the obvious.

Rating: 4/5 --
Simply as a wallow in black-and-white Gallic romanticism, it's a treat, but Tavernier also provides good stuff in his commentary.

Rating: 3/5 --
This is essential viewing for cinephiles and Francophiles alike, but others may find the three-hour-plus running time a little excessive.

As its title indicates, MY JOURNEY THROUGH FRENCH CINEMA is personal with a capital 'P,' a passionate, opinionated, drop-dead fascinating documentary essay about that country’s film history put together by a clear-eyed enthusiast who was born to tell the tale.
