Book Reviews of Blade Runner (BFI Modern Classics)

Book Review: Short But Sweet
Summary: 5 Stars

I've tried to read as much as possible about Blade Runner for several reasons, the two most important being;
1)I love the film and therefore enjoy reading about it.
2)If I read enough about it I might understand why I love it.
It goes without saying that I might, eventually, understand a bit more about myself.
Well, in a nutshell, this publication satisfied both points above and went some way to helping me on the third.
It is very in-depth, personal yet analytical, written as a work of love but not ass-kissing and includes some beautiful stills in both B/W and colour.
Perhaps more to the point, Bukatman attempts to get under the skin of BR (no pun intended) and puts across several interpretations of the the movie's themes that I have never read before in a single volume by just one person.
Highly recommended.
