GOD. WHAT A PICTURE. im saying this about a book but its so concerned with film and theatres that i think its apt. horrible, gross and yet so affecting and charming. its giving hollywood new wave. and each chapter title provides you with a free to watch list so get on it watch the red shoes (1948), the last picture show (1971), return to oz (1985) and all the rest. it'll make for an incredible re-read if youre not already as obsessed with film as i apparently am
