BBC“电视史上的过程碑”，当代艺术历史最具雄心壮志的纪录片拍摄工作，由驰名艺术历史学家克拉克爵士担任编剧与主持，探讨西欧文明，而爵士更在本片中界定了人类文明兴盛中的几个重要阶段。历时两年才拍摄完毕，剧组跨越13个国家，曾走访百多个城市拍摄，本纪录片首年播出时更被喻为电视史上的代表作。克拉克爵士引人入胜的对白，再加上欧洲地标动人画面，带领我们探索自罗马帝国失守至工业革命用其后的文明发展。这种经过艺术、音乐来表露历史看法的做法，成为日后无数纪录片看齐并努力胜过的基准。"KennethClark’ssumptuous,magisterial,one-manserveyoftheachievementsofbumanisticcivilisationisaTVlandmark"ThedailymailIn1966BBCTelevisionembarkedonitsmostambitiousdocumentaryseriestodate.TheeminentarthistorianLordClarkwascommissionedtowriteandpresentanepicexaminationofWesternEyuopeanculture,definingwhatheconsideredtobethecrucialphasesofitsdevelopment.Civilisation:ApersonalViewbyLordClarkwouldbemorethantwoyearsinthemaking,withfilminginover100locationsacross13countries.Thelavishserieswashailedasamasterpiecewhenitwasfirsttransmittedin1969.FromthefalloftheRomanEmpiretotheIndustrialRevolutionandbeyond,Clark’scompellingnarrativeisaccompaniedbybreathtakingcolourphotographyofEurope’sgrearestlandmarks.This"historyofideasasillustratedbyartandmusic’remainsthebenchmarkforthenumerousprogrammesitinpired.特别收录SpecialFeature大卫·艾登堡禄爵士回忆制作过程SirDavidAttenboroughremembersthemakingofCivilisation剧相馆Photogalleryofbehind-the-scenesstills
