This was an ARC provided by NetGalley.
I absolutely adored this book and as someone who has read A LOT of movie books in his day, this one definitely stands out.
The collection and arrangement of movies in Filmlandia! does what all great film books should aim for, it tells a story. The Pacific Northwest's history is tackled in all forms from the good to the bad through the lens of cinema and this book doesn't shy away from it.
Incredibly funny, with gorgeous artwork this one needs to be experienced in full colour. I had erroneously sent this to my kindle at first and am very glad I kyboshed that as it didn't allow for the full impact of the work.
Short, sweet, and with plenty of films to add to my watchlist, I couldn't be happier.
