Placing Movies: The Practice of Film Criticism FROM THE PUBLISHER
Placing Movies, the first collection of Johnathan Rosenbaum's work, gathers together thirty of his most distinctive and illuminating pieces. Written over a span of twenty-one years, these essays cover an extraordinarily broad range of films, from Hollywood blockbusters to foreign art movies to experimental cinema.
Rosenbaum's writings include not only movie reviews but also extended commentaries on directors, actors, cinematic trends, and the practice of film criticism. His reflections on the critic's art are what set this collection apart from other volumes of film writing.
