Overview
Here are 38 searching essays on contemporary blockbusters like SpiderāMan and Minority Report; recent innovative triumphs like The Tree of Life and Beasts of the Southern Wild; and the intricacies of genre mythmaking from Chinese martial arts films to the horror classics of Val Lewton. O'Brien probes the visionary art of classic filmmakersāvon Sternberg, Fod, Cocteau, Kurosawa, Godardāand the implications of such diverse recent work as Farenheit 9/11, The Passion of Christ, and The Sopranos. Each of these pieces is alert to the alwaysāsurprising intersections between screen life and real life, and the way that film from the beginning has shaped our sense of memory and history.
