An absolute treasure for film buffs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a really wonderful book by the great film critic Richard Roud, providing the reader with many hours of pleasure, reminiscing about the golden epoch of the Cinemateque Francaise, that bastion of film lore, created and supported throughout his eventful life by sacred monster Henri Langlois. It tends to be a little tedious by providing minute information on the creation of the different Film Archives around the world, but I guess this is part of the whole thing.
