The Good, The Bad, And The Multiplex by Mark Kermode
What's Wrong with Modern Movies?
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.
