Fans of these films have to count on catching up to them on video and DVD, but even the most hard-core devotees have trouble remembering what sounded good when a film was originally released.

[jacket copy] "This is Kenneth Turan at his best--writing about movies that really matter as opposed to movies that are just big clanking machines. And Turan at his best is as good as it gets--thoughtful, provocative, infinitely readable. He stirs memory, argument, re-engagement and, in some cases, an urgent itch for a trip to the video store [?!], either to renew old acquaintances or to make a new and doubtless treasurable friend."--Richard Schickel. "Turan is a lovely reviewer, able to encapsulate a film's charms in a few phrases, and he has a particular knack for opening sentences, an important tool for any newspaper writer. Turan saves the best for last: nine longer essays he calls 'Retrospectives' . . . And Turan's funny gloss on the familiar conventions of Chinese martial arts films shows how perceptive and winning he can be."--Publishers Weekly. Pristine hardcover w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright, intact jacket. Quite presentable.…
