Rating = B+
I greatly enjoyed this documentary about a
video making trying to find the author of a long-out-of-print only novel and
showing us his love of books along the way. The director draws out the movie
by seeking out skirting his subject for a while and interviewing lots of other
people with interests in books, and this makes it a better story. Still, I
must rate the movie a B+ rather than an A- on grounds of contrivance. I loved
watching all these book lovers love their books and their talk of books.
