PictureLike at Troynovant:
Projecting light through a theater darkly
via books about Moving Pictures (Movies, Film)
and of course Television series;
listed by Title

These mostly are reviews of books about the history and culture of film and its best practitioners. Source reviews (of films, novels, stories, histories) are listed here only if the review is framed with a smidgen of discussion about some principle of film-making technique (beware plot spoilers) . For reviews of films and television presentations in themselves, see Feature Films by Title and Reels by Title. For a companion list dealing with literature and the critical process, see LitCrit at Troynovant. We do not shoot for comprehensive coverage of actors and actresses and so on, but for insights into how and why the medium of film works its wonders for us.
