"We watch what is moving fast from a platform that is also moving fast," writes Geoffrey O'Brien in the beginning of Stolen Glimpses, Captive Shadows. This collectiongathering the best of a decade's worth of writing on film by one of our most bracing and imaginative criticsranges freely over the past, present, and future of the movies, from the primal visual poetry of the silent era to the dizzying permutations of the merging digital age.
Here are 38 searching essays on contemporary blockbusters like SpiderMan and Minority Report; recent innovative triumphs like The Tree of Life and Beasts of the Southern Wild; and the intricacies of genre mythmaking from Chinese martial arts films to the horror classics of Val Lewton. O'Brien probes the visionary art of classic filmmakersvon Sternberg, Fod, Cocteau, Kurosawa, Godardand the implications of such diverse recent work as Farenheit 9/11, The Passion of Christ, and The Sopranos. Each of these pieces is alert to the alwayssurprising intersections between screen life and real life, and the way that film from the beginning has shaped our sense of memory and history.
