For twenty years, Reverse Shot, a journal for film criticism and the house publication of “New York's Museum of the Moving Image”, has been a home for movie lovers to find incisive, intelligent writings from a diverse group of the best critics working today.
To celebrate the publication's run, MoMI has published this special anniversary anthology, which collects central pieces from the journal's beginnings up through the latest releases. Broken into four chronological movements, this volume captures not only the films and filmmakers that Reverse Shot's writers have championed and wrestled over but also tells a story of cinema's progress and change over the first two decades of the 21st century.
More than just for the many longtime readers of “Reverse Shot”, this collection is an essential reference for the past, present, and future of the moving image and a gift for anyone who cares about films and serious writings about them.
