Christina reviewed Film writing and selected journalism by James Agee (The Library of America ;)
Review of 'Film writing and selected journalism' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This man understood the language of film and its dialects of technique and narrative better than most film critics past and present. Idiosyncratic and preferential in his reviews (some films receive two-line reviews; others two+ columns), Agee's writings are a must for a film student or cineast(e). The only sour note is that it may be awhile before I can again enjoy some local film reviews.
