| "A beautiful, moving tribute to
the genius of John Cassavetes." |
| Dan Snow, writing on Amazon.com |
| "Carney's writing is so different
from most film criticism. It reads so clearly. You won't find
any
jargon, or fancy-schmancy film-book theories here. He doesn't attempt
to explain the films or their characters by offering simplified
psychological
or sociological understandings. Instead, Carney'shows how valuable
it is to stay with the complex experiences offered in the films,
to
allow yourself to let the films teach you something new. Carney argues
that all great art can give us new powers of understanding, more
perceptive
eyes and ears.... Carney's deep belief in the importance of art comes
through in his writing as the most radical, original and hopeful
statements
on art that I've ever read. John Cassavetes: The Adventure of
Insecurity
has changed the way I now look at all film." |
