Book Reviews of Doomed Bourgeois in Love : Essays on the Films of Whit Stillman

Book Review: For Stillman fans who just can't get enough!
Summary: 4 Stars

Until I read the above reviews, I never even realized that this book might be meant for university courses! The writing is so fresh and fun and accessible that I'd just assumed it was for Stillman fans like me who, after watching each of his films multiple times, still crave more! Until Stillman comes out with a new film, books about the old films will just have to suffice, I suppose. This is a very readable book. If you, like me, just can't get enough of Whit Stillman, you'll enjoy this book. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I really disagree with some of the authors on some points; some of the reasoning seems a bit forced. Example: Audrey decided to accompany Cynthia to Rick van Sloneker's for the express purpose of seeing if Tom would come rescue her??!! Give me a break. Still, overall it's a great read if you've seen all the films.
