Inscrivez-vous à LibraryThing pour découvrir si vous aimerez ce livre Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. A primeira edição deste livro foi publicada em 1975. Mais de 100 novos verbetes foram adicionados a partir de então. Ainda assim, minha edição é a primeira e não li as mais recentes. Time Out nomeou este livro um dos dez livros principais da década de 1990. Gavin Lambert reconheceu-o como "uma obra de imaginação que vale por si só". David Hare chamou Thomson de "o crítico mais estimulante e ponderado". Peço permissão para discordar. O autor é brincalhão, engraçado, porém equivocado e pernóstico. Mistura absurdamente sétima arte, entretenimento, dinheiro e vulgaridade. Opiniático, ousado, provocador e de um viés a seu modo apaixonado pelo cinema, este é um dos poucos livros de referência fílmica que preferi descartar sumariamente a revender para um sebo. ( )
It's an essential, loony, irresistible book, and scarcely a week passes when I don't submerge myself for an hour or two in its labyrinthine marvels. Listes notables
"Now in its fifth edition, updated, and with more than 130 new entries---from Judd Apatow to Lena Horne---the classic, beloved film book is better than ever." "For thirty-five years, David Thomson's Biographical Dictionary of Film has been "fiendishly seductive" (Greil Marcus, Rolling Stone), "the finest reference book ever written about movies" (Graham Fuller, Interview), and "not only an indispensable book about cinema, but one of the most absurdly ambitious literary achievements of our time" (Geoff Dyer, The Guardian). For this edition, Thomson has brought up to date and in some cases recast the biographies, and has added new ones (Clive Owen, Scarlett Johansson, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Heath Ledger, for example). The book now includes almost 1,500 entries, some of them just a pungent paragraph, some of them several thousand words long, every one a gem." "Here is a great, rare book that encompasses the chaos of art, entertainment, money, vulgarity, and nonsense that we call the movies, Personal opinionated, funny, daring, provocative, and passionate, it is the one book that every filmmaker and film buff must own, from the man David Hare called "the most stimulating and thoughtful film critic now writing.""--BOOK JACKET.
