Life Cinematic is a BBC television series of in-depth interviews with notable filmmakers, with clips from movies that have influenced them.[1][2] With The Film Review and associated programs, Life Cinematic fills the gap left by the cancellation of the BBCs long-running Film... series in 2018. It is produced by Somethin’ Else and presented either by Edith Bowman or Robbie Collin, who give a brief résumé of the interviewee's career before conducting the interview. In the first 60-minute episode, broadcast 30 January 2020, Bowman spoke with Sir Sam Mendes, the British director whose blockbuster film 1917 was released three weeks previously.[2][3]
