Reviews
"[Thomson] reveal[s] not only what films have meant to him, but what the watching of them, and the ultimate harvesting of them in our memories, means to all of us... Thomson is that rare critic who wants you to have and to share your passions, and in How to Watch a Movie , he writes more of the experience of watching than in rating a film or excoriating the ambitions of anyone... Bewitching." -- The Millions "Richly informed... Thomson's prose makes you want to review what you've already seen, and perhaps what you've already studied." -- The Guardian "Highly readable and wickedly smart, this title will inspire both lay film fans and film students to watch more closely." -- Library Journal "[Thomson]'s encyclopedic knowledge of cinema history makes for some truly fascinating associations--often in the space of a single poetic phrase... Thomson assuredly seeks to expose the magician's many secrets--but only so we can all access a better appreciation of the wonder of film... An enjoyably deep dive into the interaction between cinema and psyche." -- Kirkus "Thoughtfully pondered and poetically covered... The book's coverage is fascinating, wide ranging (from art to critics), and immensely knowledgeable... Readers ranging from filmmakers to movie buffs will learn much here." -- Booklist From the Hardcover edition.

Synopsis
In his most inventive exploration of the medium yet, David Thomson--one of our most provocative authorities on all things cinema--shows us how to get more out of watching any movie. Guiding us through each element of the viewing experience, considering the significance of everything from what we see and hear on-screen--actors, shots, cuts, dialogue, music--to the specifics of how, where, and with whom we do the viewing, Thomson explicates the movie watching experience with his customary candor and wit. Delivering keen analyses of films ranging from Citizen Kane to 12 Years a Slave , in How to Watch a Movie, Thomson shows moviegoers how to more deeply appreciate both the artistry and the manipulation of film--and in so doing enriches our viewing experience immensely.
