Beneath Mulholland : Thoughts on Hollywood and Its Ghosts

Rating:
Summary: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS ABOUT MOVIES
Review: "Beneath Mulholland" is one of the best books about movies ever written. David Thomson is incredibly imaginative, erudite, creative, and risk-taking in his musings on Hollywood movies. His pieces on Cary Grant and Greta Garbo are among the best short essays on actors I have ever read. Other especially fascinating pieces are "James Dean at 50" and the amazing "Perkins Cobb". The whole book is just wonderful.

Review: I was really struck by the complexity of thought in this remarkable book. If you love films and want insight into the true Hollywood of 1999, this is the book. Superb essays and flights of truth and fantasy by an outstanding author. I will read this book many times.
