The Hollywood Eye: What Makes Movies Work

(1990)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Boorstin believes that every movie is really three movies running at once: the voyeuristic movie (the emotional thrills the film elicits). Here he examines these elements using his own experiences as well as the experiences of legend ary filmmakers to demonstrate how the moviemaking process works. 100 black-an d-white illustrations.
