Review
"Usai's often infuriating book is a tour de force. It makes one rethink the history of film, what survives, what should be preserved, and to whom it belongs."--"Times Literary Supplement
Product Description
[Cherchi Usai] has drawn . . . the picture of a worldwide crisis that commands our unconditional concern. His portrait of a culture ignoring the loss of its own image is a devastating moral tale, the recognition that there is something very wrong with the way we are taught to disregard the art of seeing as something ephemeral and negligible. Martin Scorsese
