Required Reading: Most Influential Film Books

, , , , ,

Sight & Sound sounds off on their top five film books.  I’ve written a bit about my most influential film books previously.   I would add Story Of The Eye, Camera Lucida, Ways Of Seeing, and The Three Stigmata Of Palmer Eldritch to this list.  They may not really about film, granted, but they taught me about film for sure.

  • Another for Sculpting in Time. That text has been a guiding light during some dark days in the edit bay.
  • I would add Film Art and The Secret Language of Film by Jean-Claude Carrière. And Sculpting in Time by Tarkovsky is essential reading. And there are plenty of autobiographies around, like Bergman's and Kazan's which are great books and great books on film too.
