In his recent essay Il Maestro, Martin Scorsese critiqued our modern media culture, where movies are little more than content and algorithms drive film exhibition. Salient though his words are, Scorsese is not the first to lament cinematic loss. This video essay puts Scorsese in conversation with Susan Sontag's 1996 essay The Decay of Cinema and probes deeper into what exactly is lost in the movie from cinema to content, and why cinephilia is worth fighting for.
