Adventures of Perception: Cinema as Exploration

"These essays are among Scott MacDonald's best. An added bonus among all this new work is one updated vintage essay from 1981--still the very best essay ever written about the uses of pornography. All the essays are intellectually, personally and viscerally vibrant, coupling substantive recent essays with his trademark, probing interviews with key filmmakers. Each interview is beautifully paired with the essays. Scott MacDonald is a monument to thoughtful knowledge of, and pleasure in, avant-garde cinema."--Linda Williams, author of "Screening Sex"
