在线阅读本书 'An Oscar-worthy Christmas gift for any film fan' Review 'If you are thinking of renting a DVD but are uncertain, you couldn't do better than consult Thomson's round-up' --Andrew Sarris 'This might well turn out to be the greatest living film scholar's greatest work' --London Review of Books 'Have You Seen?, which contains characteristically eccentric assessments of copper-bottomed classics, obscure cult pleasures and interesting disasters, proves to be an absolute delight ... The author's irrepressibly playful approach to criticism runs through this essential volume and helps elevate its status to that of literature.' --Irish Times Review 'Brilliant commentary that combines the idiosyncratic and authoritative as only Thomson can do' Review 'One of the great pleasures of cinephilia is reading David Thomson.No one who writes about film is more adroitly encyclopedic or a more skillful provocateur.This huge collection is filled with delights for both the casual reader who wants to discover new and old treasures and for the seasoned cinephile who enjoys having his views challenged and expanded by the keenly analytical Dr. Johnson of the cinema.' Review 'There's a scepticism in Have You Seen...? that gives a reader a great sense of trust, and a sense of a writer seeing all movies at once, that allows Thomson to go from a gesture to a judgement on the country at large without turning his head.It's not only a new kind of movie book; it's a new kind of conversation.' David Thomson is, among many other things, author of The New Biographical Dictionary of Film, now in its fourth edition. His recent books include a biography of Nicole Kidman, Fan Tan (a novel written in collaboration with Marlon Brando) and The Whole Equation: A History of Hollywood. Born in London, he now lives in San Francisco.A very personal and hugely entertaining look at the greatest films ever made, David Thomson's Have You Seen... offers some of the most moving, perceptive and ridiculous precis of films ever to be put to paper.From being in raptures over Anatahan and utterly nauseated by The Sound of Music, Thomson's witty and informed look at over 1,000 films is the ideal companion to the silver screen.
