{"product_id":"second-sight-adam-mars-jones-9781789141542","title":"Second Sight: The Selected Film Writing of Adam Mars-Jones","description":"The film review can be a little work of art, not just a consumer guide--as is manifest in this collection by one of the United Kingdom's foremost doyennes of the contemporary silver screen. Covering more than thirty years of film releases, celebrated critic Adam Mars-Jones guides us through the most entertaining, most appalling, and most fantastic films of his viewing lifetime, interweaving his original film reviews with new insights and reflections. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Mars-Jones answers the questions that no other critic has even bothered to ask. What is \u003ci\u003eTwister\u003c\/i\u003e really about? How many Steven Spielbergs are there? (Spoiler: he counts thirteen). How many of them are worth anything? Who had the greatest slow-burn career in the movies? (Clue: he taught Montgomery Clift how to roll a cigarette.) And which science-fiction film features the most haunting use of slime? Funny, combative, and revealing, \u003ci\u003eSecond Sight\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebration of the artform that maintains the strongest hold on the modern imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Mars-Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789141540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789141542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.70w x 0.90d","brand":"Adam Mars-Jones","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419565605119,"sku":"9781789141542","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b7254ea-b791-420f-b5cb-3d20d864f81c.jpg?v=1761512389","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/second-sight-adam-mars-jones-9781789141542","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
