Features: Insights into life triggered by movies from a person of character; a highly passionate cinephile's deeply emotional viewing notes! This book about movies and beautiful women surprisingly connects with reading and writing, is a mysterious liaison between literature and cinema. I admit this original text is a secondary reading, and I must emphasize it is definitely an alternative text. All the articles in this book are more or less related to movies, but they are generally not traditional film reviews, not general movie introductions, nor specialized studies on gender in cinema. It is the insights into life triggered by movies from a person of character, and highly passionate viewing notes written by a cinephile with deep emotional sensitivity. It includes whispers and impromptu comments on filmmakers and their works, as well as associations and reflections beyond the movies themselves. The author is knowledgeable and enthusiastic, effortlessly navigating between the vibrant images and the realms of poetry and philosophy. Because it is not deliberately written for others, it has the potential to interest everyone.
