Reading this took me more than I expected, but I've got my reasons. This is a terrific collection of essays, so rich and beautifully written. I went slow and quiet on every writing, leaving the book on my shelf for days at the end of each essay. Just to think about what I have been reading. The words kept floating in my mind, pulling the right strings and connecting the right dots. There's something beyond Cinema in here. Criticism, though focused on film, gets stripped down to its principles and basis, to its very own shape. What is this shape made of? Language. And through a closer look to language, the authors explain how a critic instruments language to rethink cinema and rethink our position as film viewers. A precious book indeed for anyone moved by films enough to look for what they can truly reveal.
