it was amazing

One of the greatest American films of all time gets the deluxe analytical treatment viz Mark Kermode, who has an obvious passion for Friedkin and his art. This, the third edition of the book, was re-published to include depth on the newest cut of the film- "The Version You've Never Seen"; this revision is probably my favorite part of this text, particularly a bonus interview attached to the end which finds Friedkin and Blatty discussing the good and the bad about the new cut.
With this film there was a tremendous clash between literary and filmic intention, which Kermode is careful to examine. By starting with Blatty's source material and working his way up the evolution, he creates a fascinating historical and theoretical look at this classic film.
