Spanning half the history of cinema, his reviews cover a great variety of films, from westerns and gangsters to art movies and musicals--the hits and the misses, the good, the bad and the ugly. French takes on films as disparate as \u003ci\u003eThe Gospel According to St Matthew \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eTed, The Remains of the Day \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Caligula\u003c\/i\u003e. His reviews are personal, witty, and sharply perceptive. Time and again he reveals not only an encyclopaedic knowledge of cinema but also an erudition, an enthusiasm, and a boundless curiosity. Taken together, they form an illuminating commentary on modern culture; but above all they are a distillation of one man's lifelong love of cinema, a worthy memorial to one of the most respected and beloved of modern critics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip French\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178410602X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784106027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Philip French","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984300114175,"sku":"9781784106027","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8de9ed7-b5f1-4550-ab8d-4db91a3581a7.jpg?v=1683271595","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/notes-from-the-dream-house-philip-french-9781784106027","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
