Sopranos Sessions, the three-part documentary sees
Sopranos critics, the cast, and even the creator David Chase sit down for candid conversations on how Chase pulled the show off, and what elevated it to “cultural landmark” status.
The first part of the film will see two critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz, who wrote a making-of book of the same name in conversation over onion rings at Holsten’s, the New Jersey diner where Tony Soprano ate in the show’s enigmatic finale. Part two, meanwhile, will see actors Federico Castelluccio, Vincent Pastore, Arthur J. Nascarella, and Vincent Curatola chat over a hearty Italian meal.
