From America's most trusted and highly visible film critic, 100
more brilliant essays on the films that define cinematic
greatness.
Continuing the pitch-perfect critiques begun in "The Great Movies,
Roger Ebert's "The Great Movies II collects 100 additional essays,
each one of them a gem of critical appreciation and an amalgam of
love, analysis, and history that will send readers back to films
with a fresh set of eyes and renewed enthusiasm--or perhaps to an
avid first-time viewing. Neither a snob nor a shill, Ebert manages
in these essays to combine a truly populist appreciation for
today's most important form of popular art with a scholar's
erudition and depth of knowledge and a sure aesthetic sense. Once
again wonderfully enhanced by stills selected by Mary Corliss,
former film curator at the Museum of Modern Art, "The Great Movies
II is a treasure trove for film lovers of all persuasions, an
unrivaled guide for viewers, and a book to return to again and
again.
