THE 50 YEAR ARGUMENT
September 29, 2014  | By David Bianculli

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

Finally! A workplace that looks like mine! This documentary, co-directed by Martin Scorsese and David Tedeschi, is an unapologetic love letter to The New York Review of Books on the provocative book review and essays publication’s golden anniversary. Robert Silvers, 84, is both the central subject and behind-the-scenes instigator of this new film, which is an inspirational salute to the power of ideas – especially ones that go against the norm or the grain. And in these days of paperless, faceless blog sites, it’s a joy to see the cluttered desks, rough print pages and everything else that makes the cramped, cluttered Review headquarters look like an office from a previous era.
