For nearly half a century, Roger Ebert's wide knowledge, keen
judgment, prodigious energy, and sharp sense of humor made him
America's most renowned and beloved film critic. From Ebert's
Pulitzer Prize to his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, from his
astonishing output of daily reviews to his pioneering work on
television with Gene Siskel, his was a career in cinema criticism
without peer. Arriving fifty years after Ebert published his first
film review in 1967, this second edition of Awake in the Dark
collects Ebert's essential writings into a single, irresistible
volume. Featuring new Top Ten Lists and reviews of the years'
finest films through 2012, this edition allows both fans and film
buffs to bask in the best of an extraordinary lifetime's
work.Including reviews from The Godfather to GoodFellas and
interviews with everyone from Martin Scorsese to Meryl Streep, as
well as showcasing some of Ebert's most admired essays among them a
moving appreciation of John Cassavetes and a loving tribute to the
virtues of black-and-white films Ebert's Awake in the Dark is a
treasure trove not just for fans of this era-defining critic, but
for anyone desiring a compulsively readable chronicle of the silver
screen. Stretching from the dramatic rise of rebel Hollywood and
the heyday of the auteur to the triumph of blockbuster films such
as Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark, to the indie revolution
that is still with us today, Awake in the Dark reveals a writer
whose exceptional intelligence and daily bursts of insight and
enthusiasm helped shape the way we think about the movies. But more
than this, Awake in the Dark is a celebration of Ebert's inimitable
voice a voice still cherished and missed.
