In Filmish, cartoonist Edward Ross takes us on an exhilarating ride through the history of cinema, using comics to uncover the magic and mechanics behind our favorite movies.
Exploring everything from censorship to set design, Ross spotlights the films and filmmakers that embody this provocative and inventive medium, from the pioneers of early cinema to the innovators shaping modern movies, from A Trip to the Moon to Inception and beyond.
A witty and insightful reflection on the enduring power of the cinema, Filmish is a lucid and lively guide to the stars and stories that have shaped our lives for more than a century.
Like other bestselling nonfiction graphic novels such as Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics, Filmish tackles serious issues--sexuality, race, censorship, propaganda--with authority and wit, throwing new light on some of the greatest films ever made.
Thoroughly enjoyable...a wonderfully breezy read. --The Guardian
Illuminating, accessible and hugely enjoyable. --Library Journal
