Nominated for the 1991 National Book Critics Circle Awards
"This witty, erudite collection of reviews and longer essays is as much a commentary on the politics of the spectacle as it is a retrospective of the movies of the past dozen years."
—Village Voice
"One of the most intelligent an thought-provoking critics in the United States, though he doesn't always like my films."
—Martin Sorsese
"This is in the tradition of great American movie books—James Agee, Andrew Sarris, Manny Farber, Pauline Kael—in which an author's collected reviews have the emotional force of a recherché du temps perdu. Reliving the '80s with Hoberman, we can marvel at the weirdness and richness of world culture. Hoberman's writing offers impressive erudition, emotional intensity, and wiseguy wit. If Siegfried Kracauer and Patti Smith had bumped into each other on Second Avenue one night, maybe they could have produced a book like this."
—Marshall Berman, author of All That Is Solid Melts into Air: The Experience of Modernity
