What they’re saying

“The idea of the book is that to appreciate a film as greater than the sum of its parts, we should understand and appreciate each of the parts that make it up — in this case: Production, Jobs, Sorkin, Boyle, Camera, Performance, Music, Edit, Aftermath, with essays by writers with credits across RogerEbert.com, Polygon, Bright Wall/Dark Room, and NPR.”

“Part of my early acting training was status exercises. We learned that performers can play high or low status to affect the dynamic of the scene, depending on how their character would approach interaction with the people around them.”
