Review

"[A] heartfelt portrait of how hard it is to grow up, how hard it is to watch someone grow up and how in the midst of a family’s confusion and ire, there is sometimes nothing so welcome as a movie."

Publisher's note

Documents the author's efforts to impart key life lessons to his high-school-dropout son by showing him three movies every week, in an account that describes how such films as True Romance and Rosemary's Baby enabled father-and-son dialogues about a range of life issues, from relationships and work to drugs and culture. Reprint.

Annotation

When his son Jesse dropped out of high school, Canadian film critic and novelist David Gilmour decided to try an unorthodox approach: he told Gilmour he didn't have to go to school as long as he was willing to watch three movies with him a week. Gilmour's memoir THE FILM CLUB tells the story of how this simple father-son activity allowed the two to understand each other better, and eventually helped both of them climb out of the emotional holes they had fallen into.
