The meaning of life in movies
by Michael Lister
Here's an interesting collection of essays, mixing film criticism and memoir, drawn from the author's blog, Of Font and Film. Lister has a keen eye for the way a film can make an emotional connection with its viewer. This isn't your run-of-the-mill movie-review book: with a few exceptions, you won't find Hollywood blockbusters here; Lister prefers to talk about smaller films, movies that have touched him on a personal level. Some of the essays are (mostly) traditional reviews; others take a movie and use it as a jumping-off point for a consideration of a genre as a whole (romantic comedy, for example), or for a reflection on the way the film impacted the author's own life.
