by James Naremore
From the rear cover
"James Naremore is one of the most deservedly admired critics of our time, and this collection presents an array of perceptive, readable essays on critical, historical, and theoretical topics that have never been more clearly and articulately explored." --David Sterritt, author of Spike Lee's America "Reading over this collection of essays, I am struck by how important James Naremore's voice is to the field. The notion of the film scholar as critic is, as he says at one point, an idea that is under siege. Naremore's robust, pellucid, and consistently perceptive critical intelligence is the antidote to this denigration of criticism." --Richard Allen, co-author of Islamicate Cultures of Bombay Cinema
