A proper review will be published elsewhere (and then also announced here) but in short: This is a quintessential book for anyone even remotely interested in those films. It's an academic publication but in no way a dry read. The only drawback is its price which will be unaffordable for most but if you can make do without a few meals to pick up the required shekels to purchase this, do. Else, see if you could at least possibly get a loan of it from a public or university library.
I'm about halfway through this book. It strikes just the right balance. Academic, but not too academic. What I like most is the author's obvious and genuine enthusiasm. He's an academic but he's a fan as well.
ReplyDeleteWell said!!!! It strikes exactly the right balance. It's well researched and well written. Author is a fan but not a fanboy and an academic without being ponderously so.
