1. The Good, The Bad, And The Multiplex
In this critical exploration of the modern film industry, the author delves into the decline of proper movie-going experiences, lamenting the rise of multiplex cinemas that prioritize profit over the quality of both films and the viewing experience. With a blend of humor and insight, the book critiques the dominance of blockbuster franchises, the homogenization of international cinema, and the challenges faced by smaller films in a market driven by commercial interests. The author also examines the impact of these trends on audiences and filmmakers alike, calling for a return to the days when cinema was as much about artistry and engagement as it was about entertainment.
