So Long, Silver Screen

So Long, Silver Screen

Blutch
3.4/5 ( ratings)
What are the movies? What effect do they have on us? Why do we love them so much? The influential, award-winning French cartoonist Blutch addresses these questions in a series of interlocking short comics that combine scholarly history with ribald romanticism, and feature a motley cast of actors and characters, including Claudia Cardinale, Jean-Luc Godard, Burt Lancaster, Ava Gardner, Michel Piccoli, Tarzan and Luchino Visconti. Blutch has published over a dozen books since debuting in 1988 in the legendary avant-garde magazine "Fluide Glacial" among his books are "Mitchum," "Peplum" and "Le Petit Christian," and his illustrations regularly appear in "Les Inrockuptibles," "Liberation" and "The New Yorker." As much visual essay as graphic novel, a daydream and fantastic meditation on the other art of telling stories with images, "So Long, Silver Screen" is the finest work yet from an uncontested master of contemporary cartooning, as well as his first full-length work to be published in English. It is designed by famed cartoonist David Mazzucchelli.
