Transcendental Style in Film: Ozu, Bresson, Dreyer by Paul Schrader
Transcendental Style in Film: Ozu, Bresson, Dreyer by Paul Schrader
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am pretty sure this is the best book on film that I have read. Changed the way that I saw movies. Made me very happy and confident that I could read movies with more precision and depth.
Something that came out of the conversations this has spawned is my son Jack’s opinion that a lot of my criticism is not valid for the film–too academic. Too over the top. Many films cannot sustain such critique and are not designed to.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the Bi Bible–Bi racial, Bi sexual, Bi coastal, and even Bi lingual. I love this book. It is seen as a simple summer read, but the “female work-life balance” themes contained in this book are really next level. Strongly recommended.
