It's refreshing."-Ted Perry, Museum of Modern ArtAbout the author: James Monaco is author or editor of more than a dozen books on film and media, published in more than 35 editions, including American Film Now, The New Wave, The Connoisseurs' Guide to the Movies, The Film Encyclopedia, Media Culture, and Celebrity.
