The turn of the millennium has yielded many collections of film criticism and essays, from the humor-laden (Joe Queenan's Confessions of a Cineplex Heckler) to the ultraserious (Stanley Kauffmann's Regarding Film and Ray Greene's Hollywood Migraine). Having honed his skills in such publications as Film Comment, the Nation, and the New York Times, Klawans (Film Follies: The Cinema Out of Order) brings considerable knowledge and analytical powers to bear on various foreign and domestic films. With his unabashedly left-wing perspective, he analyzes documentaries such as Hoop Dreams, 4 Little Girls, and Belfast, Maine; political films like L'America and A Moment of Innocence; and commercial features Matinee, Ed Wood, The Muse, and Gladiator. Even sequels of no immediately discernible impact can have socioeconomic significance, as Klawans demonstrates in his critique of The Rage: Carrie 2. Just as fascinating are the not entirely agreeable connections he discerns between Shakespeare in Love and She's the One. This collection of reviews and essays is appropriate for academic and larger public libraries. Kim Holston, American Inst. for Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters, Malvern, PA
