“So if you’re reading this cinema book hopefully to learn a little something about cinema, and your head is swimming from all the names you don’t recognize, congratulations, you’re learning something.��

I did learn a little something from this book, especially what influenced the author as a director. There are a lot of biographical details that explain what formed the author’s love of movies. This love seems to be limited to pretty narrow time periods and genres - but you stick to what you like. I also learned some interesting backstories about movies. Even though the book is full of actors I’ve never heard of and movies I have not seen (and still don’t want to see), I found the book entertaining because of the author’s enthusiasm for his subject.
