More about the book

Exploring the intersection of film and reality, Joel Black examines how the cinematic impulse to document life influences our perception of authenticity. He argues that this desire to capture every moment has blurred the lines between reality and fiction, resulting in a world where life feels more graphic yet less genuine. Through comparative analyses of films and real-life events, such as "Lolita" and the JonBenet Ramsey case, Black highlights the profound impact of cinema on societal narratives and individual experiences.
