More about the book
Twenty-four frames a second, 100 heartbeats a minute, a dozen emotional highs an hour and shockwaves that last a lifetime: that's cinema. Nothing entertains us like the movies, but they also have the power to ignite strong passions. A film can make us laugh, make us sad or remorseful, frighten or reassure us, make us angry - and even, sometimes, make us want to change the world.This book is not a guide to viewing, nor a list of 'best ever' films. 1000 Films to change your life is, instead, a celebration of cinema's emotional power, written by people in the thick of the movie business. Film-makers and cinematographers, actors and actresses, writers and critics deliver personal, polemical accounts of erotica, road movies, children's cinema, horror, surrealism, documentary and much more besides. It's a book that fizzes with passion for film.
