Overview

After six decades of writing about film, acclaimed critic Richard Schickel generously shares Keepers, a history of film as he's seen and lived it. Here is a tour of his favorites from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Pulp Fiction, and a master class in what makes a film soar or flop. Schickel reminds us of the subjective art of film criticism, highlighting above all the true gems, the immortal moments of transcendent "movie magic"--the scenes, characters, lines, shots, scores, and even lighting cues--that have stuck with him over a lifetime of movie-watching. Buster Keaton, His Girl Friday, Ingrid Bergman, Taxi Driver, Star Wars, Stanley Kubrick--Schickel reveals all the films and the forces behind them that have kept him coming back for more.
