  • Is it the greatest movie script ever? Chinatown | Script Breakdown
    2025/07/08

    For the inaugural episode of Script Breakdown I am going through the script for the movie Chinatown. Considered by many the greatest movie script in cinema history, I have a near final draft that has plenty of interesting changes from the final film. In each episode of Script Breakdown I watch a movie and mark up the script and as we go along and provide you with insights from my life as a professional filmmaker. On YouTube I have cut the episode down but added script pages, however there is a full length version available on the podcast feed that you can listen to while watching along like a director's commentary.
