Avatar and
Inception.
Yazar hakkında
J. Hoberman was for over three decades a film and culture critic for The Village Voice. His previous books have explored the subculture of midnight movies, the rise and fall of Yiddish-language cinema, the international Communist avantgarde, So Ho performance art, and the underground filmmaker Jack Smith. His ‘found illusions’ trilogy-which includes The Dream Life, Make My Day, and An Army of Phantoms-used Hollywood to refract the history of the Cold War.
