\u003cp\u003eFrom one of the most admired critics of our time, brilliant insights into the act of watching movies and an enlightening discussion about how to derive more from any film experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince first publishing his landmark \u003ci\u003eBiographical Dictionary of Film\u003c/i\u003e in 1975 (now in its sixth edition), David Thomson has been one of the most trusted authorities on all things cinema. Now, he offers his most inventive exploration of the medium yet: guiding us through each element of the viewing experience, considering the significance of everything from what we see and hear on screen - actors, shots, cuts, dialogue, music - to the specifics of how, where, and with whom we do the viewing. With customary candour and wit, Thomson delivers keen analyses of a range of films from classics such as \u003ci\u003ePsycho \u003c/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Citizen Kane\u003c/i\u003e to contemporary fare such as \u003ci\u003e12 Years a Slave\u003c/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e All Is Lost\u003c/i\u003e, revealing how to more deeply appreciate both the artistry and manipulation of film, and how watching movies approaches something like watching life itself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiscerning, funny and utterly unique, \u003ci\u003eHow to Watch a Movie\u003c/i\u003e is a welcome twist on the classic proverb: Give a movie fan a film, she'll be entertained for an hour or two; teach a movie fan to watch, her experience will be enriched forever.\u003c/p\u003e |
