‘Sopranos Sessions’ to Help Viewers Dissect Storyline of Hit HBO Series
Ahead of the September theatrical release of "Many Saints of Newark," the prequel to HBO’s hit show "The Sopranos," fans of the show can get a chance to analyze the original classic through a three-part docuseries titled "Sopranos Sessions," in theaters now. Director Kristian Fraga spoke to Cheddar about how the movies are a way for fans to dissect the mob drama at even deeper levels than ever before. Ironically, Fraga noted that he hadn't been much of a fan during the time that series originally aired, but through developing each session with critics, former cast members, and creator David Chase, the director feels that both die-hard and casual fans alike will be able to explore the show through a unique lens.

Fans of “The Sopranos’ now have the opportunity to get an inside look at the television show from a different point of view. Director Kristian Fraga is them and behind “Sopranos Sessions,” a triple feature of three separate films centered around the hit show.
The all new series is nearly three hours long, but Kristian says that the film will get audiences back into theaters because of the strong fan base from “The Sopranos.” Conversations with critics who spent so much time talking about the series, actors who were part of it, and interviews with David Chase are at the center of the triple feature.
Kristian says he hopes that it’s a new way for people to explore the hit show and see it in a new light.
“Sopranos Sessions” is playing at the Movie Tavern at Township 5 in Camillus on Wednesday June 2nd at 7 p.m.
