Illuminations: Memorable Movie Moments

This wonderful book incorporates contemporaneous reviews and archival appraisals of more than fifty films over nine decades. The book investigates the clashing judgments, the irresistible attractions and the lifelong impact of movies - their exacting moments as well as individual and collective cinematic remembrances. Humorous, nostalgic, melancholic, and historical reminiscences echo the creative effect of movie-making on the imagination and on the accumulated storehouse of memory.
