Another stunning review for V. F. Perkins on Movies @WSUPress@doug_pye
"...Some of the most profound observations on cinema ever recorded, and conveys a wealth of influential methods to consider, or reconsider, the inherent nature of the medium."
https://t.co/VvVP3I3aPz
"His best work opens the door on the infinite possibilities for reading a scene, or simply a detail, and drawing out its implications...turns the work of interpretation into an art form itself"
Great review for V.F.Perkins on Movies

My own copy arrived today. It's a lovely object. The cover feels like suede or silk and the inner leaves are a satisfying weight. The movie stills are finely, clearly printed. So grateful to the excellent editing work of the excellent @doug_pye
#vfperkins ' daughter is making face coverings from his huge silk tie collection. £20 for one of these bespoke and uniquely comfortable, breathable engineer-designed 3 layer masks. DM for orders.
"Victor Perkins, perhaps the most brilliant, the most rigorous and perceptive writer of film criticism we have ever had, trusted the films he loved to teach him how to think about them"

We're all working from home. Here's the first group pic in which we show you what that looks like and say 'hi' to our students, alumni and other friends. Featured today: Helen Wheatley, James Taylor, Tracey McVey, Karl Schoonover and Alastair Phillips. More to follow tomorrow!
PSYCHO got an uncharacteristic 5* rating in #vfperkins Filmgoer's Diary. This week in '63 was all about re-watching Ray films in preparation for/procrastination of writing for the following week's MOVIE article deadline.
