Moments That Made The Movies
Paperback Edition: 1
In the first fully illustrated work of his illustrious career, David Thomson re-examines a series of moments which readers will experience in beautifully reproduced imagery from seventy-two carefully selected films across a hundred-year time span. His moments range from a set of Eadward Muybridges pioneering
