How to Watch a Movie by David Thomson
3.0
A strange book. Always stimulating and highly readable - whatever else you think, David Thomson writes beautifully; but the title is not descriptive of the book. It's a guide to how the author watches movies, and the opinions he holds. Some of them are engaging; some of them are odd (e.g. the idea that Empire of The Sun is Steven Spielberg's best film). Not bad - but not as good as I had hoped.
