In his engaging and opinionated new book . . . Zaniello examines 150 movies that focus on labor or labor-related issues. . . . What holds the project together is Zaniello's sense of fun and wit. A better writer than most major film critics, he begins each entry with a zippy one-liner meant to sum up the film.
From The New Yorker
The first comprehensive guide to films about labor. . . succeeds in being a labor-history primer for cinephiles as well as an obscure-film resource for teachers and revolutionaries. Zaniello's capsule analyses are both scholarly and chatty, providing sources for further reading . . . on every single film. . . . A useful and far-reaching guide with abundant information.
