5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent scholarly resource, November 24, 2008

This review is from: The Actor and His Double: Mime and Movement for the Theatre of Cruelty (Paperback)

I checked this book out because it was considered one of the best overviews of Artaud's philosophy. I think it hits the mark well. I have no idea who wrote that last review, but he's out of his mind. I found this book thought provoking and revealing, and a good foray into studying the mind of a rather complex artist.

This review is from: The Actor and His Double: Mime and Movement for the Theatre of Cruelty (Paperback)

This book is utterly . . . what's the word? Unhelpful? Moronic? Wrong? I have rarely read a work so mistaken about its object of study. This is beyond bad - it threatens to weaken and distort an understanding of mime and Artaud. Blech.
