Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 400 pages. Published in 1993. Retrospective collection of essays on subject. One of the absolute best books on the art and achievement of film-making of the 20th century. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confuse…d with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents Terrence Rafferty's "The Thing Happens: Ten Years of Writing About The Movies". His first, and thus far, only collection of indispensable film criticism. Brilliantly conceived and eloquently written, with probing insight, encyclopedic knowledge, and exacting (yet always fair) judgment. The title comes from James Agee, the pioneering film critic, who compared and contrasted (as he often did) the difference between "laborious" writing, which is descriptive at best, and a film's "immediate" impact, that is, the visceral sensation one experiences while watching - and then "reliving" - a film: The thing happens, "before our eyes", as Stanley Kauffmann once observed, and made the title of HIS own greatest book of film criticism. Incidentally, this central insight about the film medium derives originally, and famously, from Walter Benjamin. Rafferty's sumptuous, 400-page book is served in three courses, beginning with a great Essay on Jean Renoir, surely THE filmmaker of life's sensuous, creative, and intellectual appetites, followed by a (much more measured) section on "Directors", and concludes with scintillating "Movies", piquant reviews of films from the last quarter of the 20th century, Renoir's "successors" when they are at their best. Rafferty is a "hedonist/humanist" of a critic, who loves life, and has little patience for narrowly "aesthete", nihilistic film directors like Peter Greenaway, whom he feels obligated to write about in order to demolish the self-referring, closed-circuit film-making Greenaway epitomizes. "Agee, Farber, and Kael are his peers" (Guillermo Cabrera Infante). An absolute "must-have" title for Terrence Rafferty collectors. What a find: This was the personal copy of Clay Felker, the late great magazine and literary editor of several major American magazines, notably Esquire, which he helped make more literate and literary. As was his custom, he signed his name in black ink-pen on the inside front cover, discreetly hidden from view by the front DJ flap. This title is a great collection. This is the only such signed association copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Terrence Rafferty did NOT tour to promote his book. Copies available online have very serious flaws (because they were avidly read) or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant film critics of the 20th century and our time. Some of the greatest film artists of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO STANLEY KAUFFMANN AND PAULINE KAEL TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0802114857. Signed by Author.
