"All that I do is go out and look at films and choose the ones I
want to play-films that stimulate, and give some insight into our
lives. I hope that people will come, but if they don't, that's okay
too." Daniel Talbot changed the way the Upper West Side-and
art-house audiences around the world-went to the movies. In Love
with Movies is his memoir of a rich life as the impresario of the
legendary Manhattan theaters he owned and operated and as a highly
influential film distributor. Talbot and his wife, Toby, opened the
New Yorker Theater in 1960, cultivating a loyal audience of film
buffs and cinephiles. He went on to run several theaters including
Lincoln Plaza Cinemas as well as the distribution company New
Yorker Films, shaping the sensibilities of generations of
moviegoers. The Talbots introduced American audiences to
cutting-edge foreign and independent filmmaking, including the
French New Wave and New German Cinema. In this lively, personal
history of a bygone age of film exhibition, Talbot relates how he
discovered and selected films including future classics such as
Before the Revolution, Shoah, My Dinner with Andre, and The
Marriage of Maria Braun. He reminisces about leading world
directors such as Sembene, Godard, Fassbinder, Wenders, Varda, and
Kiarostami as well as industry colleagues with whom he made deals
on a slip of paper or a handshake. In Love with Movies is an
intimate portrait of a tastemaker who was willing to take risks. It
not only lays out the nuts and bolts of running a theater but also
tells the story of a young cinephile who turned his passion into a
vibrant cultural community.
