Reviews

This study of Neitzsche's masterpiece is (as can be gleaned by its sheer size) one of the most detailed secondary works on TSZ out there. The book is extremely well written, and the author clearly takes his subject seriously--but that is not to say that I recommend it.
The directions in the book are confusing. Unless you have LOT of time to devote to deciphering what they are telling you to do you'll never be able to figure it out.
.
A later career look at film makers that reassess his earlier views. I find this a better overall book than his piece on directors, although both are worth reading and re-reading.
Audiences are reminded again and again that even while tears flow from the soul, urine still flows from the body. Welcome to Andrew Sarris, one of the top film critics of the last century and the leading American proponent of the now famous director-as-auteur theory.
