Sontag on Film

More than thirty years after On Photography comes Sontag on Film : a collection of Sontag's writings and musings on films and cinema, gathered together for the first time by critic David Thomson and producer Tom Luddy. Inspired, vigorous and enlightening, it includes lucid discussions of the intersection between film and literature; in-depth studies of films and directors; and other such delightful and illuminating fragments as a list of Sontag's top-ten films taken from a 1982 issue of Sight and Sound . This is an indispensable addition to the literature of film, and a wonderful reminder of the greatness of the writer.
