The TV creator, plus stars like Edie Falco, Lorraine Bracco and Michael Imperioli, sit down for a two-part look back at the game-changing mob dramedy.
Though he’s made films for theatrical release and the occasional series for a different network or streamer, prolific documentarianand the HBO nonfiction brand have become borderline synonymous over the past decade. It was almost inevitable that Gibney would, at some point, take the serpent’s tail into his mouth and make a documentary about HBO.
Gibney lays his cards on the table immediately, ushering Chase into an interview room decorated to resemble psychiatrist Jennifer Melfi’s office from the show. Chase is immediately taken aback and only becomes more so after Gibney leads him through an initial round of conversation that resembles personal therapy more than an oral history of an Emmy-winning television series.
The first section, at a brisk 75 minutes, is largely prelude. It covers Chase’s origins as a man and as a filmmaker and his slow rise through Hollywood, to the point in the ’90s at which he found himself a writer-producer on other people’s exceptional TV series, but with no single “created by” credit to define him.
