DAVID THOMSON discusses film (Event Over)
DAVID THOMSON
talk & booksigning for “Have You Seen . . . ?: A Personal
Introduction to 1,000 Films"
Thursday, December 4 at 7:30 pm
In 1975, David Thomson published his "Biographical Dictionary of
Film" - few film books have enjoyed better press or such steady
sales. Now, thirty-three years later, we have a companion volume, a
second book of more than 1,000 pages in one voice - that of our
most provocative contemporary film critic and historian.
Juxtaposing the fanciful and the fabulous, the old favorites and
the forgotten, “Have You Seen . . . ?: A Personal
Introduction to 1,000 Films" presents the films that this acclaimed
film writer offers in response to the question he gets asked most
often.
David Thomson was born in London. He is a regular contributor to
publications in both Britain and the United States,and was the
screenwriter on the award-winning documentary "The Making of a
Legend: Gone With the Wind." His other books include "Showman: The
Life of David O. Selznick," "Rosebud," and three works of fiction.
