Reviews

"George Toles is one of the most gifted film critics in the English language, and his screenplays for director Guy Maddin have resulted in truly impressive motion pictures. It's a great pleasure to have his brilliant essays in a single volume. These are classic statements about the art of film, and they deserve the widest possible audience."

— James Naremore, Indiana University

"George Toles is simply one of the best critics of film working today; he is also one of the best writers who have ever been drawn to reflect on film. His thinking is fully informed and completely original —a rarity in film scholarship."

— Marian Keane, University of Colorado at Boulder
