Book Reviews of The Films of John Cassavetes: Pragmatism, Modernism, and the Movies (Cambridge Film Classics)
Book Review: The films of John Cassavetes
Summary: 5 Stars
Carney's book is scientific writing at its best. The book, despite the level of abstraction, is totally captivating. A lot of connections to sociological theories (pragmatism) are used to penetrate the characters and C:s way of filming (as well as interesting observations about Hitchcock and Orson Welles). Also, this is a book about being human as much as it is about the films of Cassavetes. The book is well structured with one film and analysis per chapter. I'm not a film student but I learned a lot from reading this. Highly recommended!
