Awards & Rankings
-
As with many of Burns’ works, like “The Civil War,” “The American Buffalo” and even “Jazz,” “The American Revolution” is as intricate as it is dense.
-
At once thorough, nuanced, and moving, investigating the paradigm-shifting uprising from numerous micro and macro angles that bring it to vibrant, inspiring life.
-
At two hours per episode, “The American Revolution” is a considerable commitment, to say the least, and Burns’ familiar narrative rhythms, with their slow pans, solemn music and heavy commentary, can feel like a relic of another era of television. Millennials and Generation X might recognize this style from the many times a history teacher wheeled a large television into a drafty carpetless classroom, yet, within that formality lies a deep sincerity.
