PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
David Thomson is one of the great living authorities on movies, and is, most notably, the author of The New Biographical Dictionary of Film. He has written more than 20 books, including biographies of David O. Selznick and Orson Welles.
David Thomson looks at how audiences become complicit in a cinematic warped triangle in his provocative Murder and the Movies. -Choice Magazine In dissecting homicide's screen allure, Thomson's erudite insight dazzles. -Kevin Harley, Total Film Thomson's dive into dependency of movies on murder leads to a surprisingly quiet tone, a conversation of lowered voices: a sense of film enacting some fated, circular history. -Greil Marcus Thomson, one of the world's leading film critics and historians, in his polished, recognizable style (dancing writing, provocative gestures, first person participation), has produced a slim, smart, readable volume on murder, movies, and society. -Jonathan Kirshner, author of Hollywood's Last Golden Age Completely unpredictable, always surprising, always deeply engaging, and always very entertaining. You never know where Thomson may take you. You just know that wherever he does take you will be a wonderful place he will let you discover for yourself. -Richard Burt, University of Florida
