Kenneth Turan's Not to be Missed: Fifty-four Favorites from a Lifetime of Film
Created by BaalMan.
Favorited 6 times, disliked 0 times, added to 4 watchlists.
"Turan, film critic for the Los Angeles Times since 1991 and a regular contributor of reviews to NPR, approaches movies, as did the late Roger Ebert, on their own terms, trying to understand what a filmmaker is trying to do and assessing a movie’s success or failure in light of its maker’s intent. This book isn’t a collection of film reviews per se; it’s a look at Turan’s personal favorites, which range from the easily recognizable (The Godfather, All about Eve, Casablanca, Unforgiven, Vertigo) to the for-devoted-film-fans-only (The Dybbuk, Seven Men from Now, The Best of Youth).
