Story
Owen Gleiberman has spent his life watching movies-first at the drive-in, where his parents took him to see wildly inappropriate adult fare like Rosemary's Baby when he was a wide-eyed 9 year old, then as a possessed cinemaniac who became a film critic right out of college. In Movie Freak, his enthrallingly candid, funny, and eye-opening memoir, Gleiberman captures what it's like to live life through the movies, existing in thrall to a virtual reality that becomes, over time, more real than reality itself.

Un viaje emocional por el cine y la televisión que han definido a toda una generación Hace menos de tres años parecía que el cine estaba muerto, que nadie volvería nunca a las salas, que las grandes estrellas no existían y que solo las películas de superhéroes eran viables económicamente. Y entonces llegó Barbie . Este es un recorrido personal —tan personal que es casi universal— por la historia más reciente del cine, y en particular del cine palomitero , ese cine comercial, orgulloso de serlo, que ha moldeado nuestro imaginario colectivo.

Story
Among a crop of fresh filmmakers including Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, and Francis Ford Coppola revolutionizing Hollywood in the ’70s, Brian De Palma—a director from Philadelphia with a few social satires under his belt—charted a cinematic path unlike any of his peers. At times he was unfairly dismissed as a Hitchcock copycat; other times he was misunderstood for his peculiar mix of sexuality, humor, music, and violence. But, over the course of ten years, he created a new cinematic language.
