Regular price
$25.00
Daniel Talbot changed the way the Upper West Side—and art-house audiences around the world—went to the movies. In Love with Movies is his memoir of a rich life as the impresario of the legendary Manhattan theaters he owned and operated and as a highly influential film distributor. In this lively, personal history of a bygone age of film exhibition, Talbot relates how he discovered and selected such future classics as Before the Revolution, Shoah, My Dinner with Andre, and The Marriage of Maria Braun, and reminisces about leading world directors such as Ousmane Sembène, Jean-Luc Godard, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Wim Wenders, Agnès Varda, and Abbas Kiarostami as well as industry colleagues with whom he made deals on a slip of paper or a handshake. In Love with Movies is an intimate portrait of a tastemaker who was willing to take risks. It lays out the nuts and bolts of running a theater and tells the story of a young cinephile who turned his passion into a vibrant cultural community.
