{"product_id":"totally-tenderly-tragically-isbn-9780385492508","title":"Totally, Tenderly, Tragically","description":"Phillip Lopate has been obsessed with movies from the start. As an undergraduate at Columbia, he organized the school's first film society. Later, he even tried his own hand at filmmaking. But it was not until his ascent as a major essayist that Lopate found his truest and most lasting contribution to the medium. And, over the past twenty-five years, tackling subjects ranging from Visconti to Jerry Lewis, from the first New York Film Festival to the thirty-second, Phillip Lopate has made film his most cherished subject. Here, in one place, are the very best of these essays, a joy for anyone who loves movies.\u003ci\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eMEMORIES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAnticipation of \u003ci\u003eLa Notte\u003c\/i\u003e:  The “Heroic” Age of Moviegoing\u003cbr\u003eThe First New York Film Festival—1963\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThree on a Couch\u003c\/i\u003e:  Jerry Lewis Adjusts\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eContempt\u003c\/i\u003e:  The Story of a Marriage\u003cbr\u003eAntonioni’s \u003ci\u003eCronaca\u003cbr\u003eDiary of a Country Priest\u003c\/i\u003e:  Films as Spiritual Life\u003cbr\u003eFassbinder’s \u003ci\u003eDespair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFILMS AND FILMMAKERS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe Operatic Realism of Luchino Visconti\u003cbr\u003eThe World According to Makavejev\u003cbr\u003eFourteen Koans by a Levite on Scorsese’s \u003ci\u003eThe Last Temptation of Christ\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTruffaut’s \u003ci\u003eThe Woman Next Door\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eDavid Lynch’s \u003ci\u003eWild at Heart\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eKenji Mizoguchi\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eThe Legacy of John Cassavetes\u003cbr\u003eA Taste for Naruse\u003cbr\u003eSidney Lumet, or The Necessity for Compromise\u003cbr\u003eThe Experimental Films of Warren Sonbert\u003cbr\u003eThree Ozu Films from the Fifties\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCAN MOVIES THINK?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe Passion of Pauline Kael\u003cbr\u003eThe Gallant Andrew Sarris\u003cbr\u003eThe Last Taboo:  The Dumbing Down of American Movies\u003cbr\u003eIn Search of the Centaur: The Essay-Film\u003cbr\u003eWhen Writers Direct\u003cbr\u003eThe Images of Children in Film\u003cbr\u003eThe 32nd New York Film Festival\u003cbr\u003eInterview with Abbas Kiarostami\u003cbr\u003eWas It a Montage for You, Too, My Dear?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhillip Lopate\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the essay collections \u003ci\u003eAgainst Joie de Vivre\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBachelorhood\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Portrait of My Body\u003c\/i\u003e.
