Review of 'Film Theory and Criticism' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

This is a kindly written book, a loving look back at the filming of a truly seminal film produced 50 years ago. The author is one of its stars and portrays the shooting quite head on. There is little analysis in this little tome. Yet, hearing about Lindsay Anderson's dictator-less way of directing and how the sequel to If.... could have been shaped, it's fairly interesting.
