The Matrix Revisited (2001)

A feature-length documentary that gets behind the scenes and into the very heart of the making of The Matrix (1999). It delves into production methods, influences, philosophy, SFX and the trials experienced by cast and crew during production.
You get to see Yuen Woo-ping at work, which was a real treat for me.
The film also functioned as a kind of promotion vehicle for the then unreleased sequels.
It'll be of great interest to film students and Matrix fans, but I don't imagine Joe Public will get overly excited by it.
