En savoir plus sur le livre

A powerful and personal exploration of the line between truth and fiction, by a celebrated filmmaker.In this sharply observed and visually rich book, Michelle Citron, one of the most influential independent woman filmmakers of our time, explores the life that surrounds an artist’s work, its inner surprises, and the necessary fictions that shape it. Using essay, memoir, fiction, and images drawn from her family’s home movies, Citron creates a series of moving narratives. The book concludes with the scripts of two of Citron’s best-known films, Daughter Rite and What You Take For Granted."I found Home Movies so enthralling I started to read it again the minute I reached the last page. It's so richly textured, with treasures of wit and writing and insight and revelation, I wanted to make sure I had gathered them all in. The book is going to be essential reading for anyone interested in the psychological, social, and cultural development of an artist. It is a highly significant and totally winning contribution to women's autobiographical writing at the edge of fiction."— Kim Chernin, author of In My Mother’s House
