About the Book:
Great films etch themselves on our brains. But it's not the whole film we remember — it is a selective scene here and there that has the power to stay with us for a lifetime. Beginning and established filmmakers would do well to remember this important and powerful influence of film and to study great moments that we will always remember — so that they too can pause, reflect, and remember to create “moments of illumination” in their own works.
Illuminations: Memorable Movie Moments by Richard Pepperman incorporates contemporaneous reviews and archival appraisals of more than 50 films over nine decades. The book investigates the clashing judgements, the irresistible attractions, and the lifelong impact of movies, their exacting moments, and individual and collective cinematic remembrances. Humorous, nostalgic, melancholy, and historic reminiscences echo the creativeness of movie-making upon the imagination, and the accumulated storehouse of memory.
What people say:
"A priceless collection of films and their pivotal moments, Pepperman takes us on an abundant visual journey." — Allyson C. Johnson, film editor, Monsoon Wedding and Amelia
"Great book. Great writing. An act of love — love of movies, life, and art." — Tony Levelle, author, Digital Video Secrets
"Illuminations makes me wax nostalgic for those movie moments that affected my life and choice of career. To this day, when I watch these films, I am transported back to a simpler time, and I remember exactly where I was and how I felt while experiencing one of my favorite pastimes. Pepperman recalls those exquisite movie moments down to their infinite details, illuminating the power of film and why we love movies so much." — Rona Edwards, producer, Killer Hair and Out of Sync
"In a world of bigger is better, where films are louder, longer, poorly written, and filled with product placements, it's always good to remember where film came from, Illuminations is a trip down a cinematic memory lane — a trip everyone should take." — Matthew Terry, producer, screenwriter, teacher
