I don't recommend reading it.
The author expresses his own, unnecessary views on films as the truth. Moreover, these views are very superficial. There are an endless number of films in the world with different genres, but the author judges them all by the same standard, what else can you expect from a pseudo-connoisseur of “art” who, in the 21st century, considers feature films to be the pinnacle of cinematography.
I would call feature films an echo of the past. Why watch them at all? You can read the book on which the feature film was based, and from the Book you will get much more than two hours of screen time. And in general, TV series are more suitable for such topics, thanks to their timing, they will allow you to delve deeper into the history, plot, and revelation of characters. If the main character really was a connoisseur of art, as the author portrays him, he would make a series to express his thoughts. But according to the author, the series is secondary garbage, because they don’t give an Oscar for it. Heh - what else can you expect from an author with one-sided thinking.
Divide films into commercial and artistic. What else could be more stupid?
