Why this lender recommends it

"A thick academic study of the master filmmaker, it reads somewhat like a dissertation. Kagan identifies five themes found throughout his films which are interesting to consider when you think about his films. I especially like the theme of the failure of intelligence and the errors of emotion - that sounds like real life to me. For film aficionados." - Reviewer on Goodreads.com
