Ever wonder why all movies have about a 5 minute scroll of all the people involved in making a film? Mr Muse identifies and explains these in a well written, very informative and enjoyable way. What involvement does the Screenwriter have? Answered and explained in a passionate and clear written description, allowing even the novice movie goer like myself to grasp the immense effort it takes to get a movie onto the screen. Mr Muses' love of the art of film making is infectious and taught me how to really truly enjoy a movie. He offers up his very personal experiences with actors like Orson Welles, Jack Nicholson, and several others that lend a humorous and personal touch to a well written book.Overall a great book that I really enjoyed reading and feel like I have gained a wonderful insight to the Industry Mr Muse spent so much of his life involved with. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by T***D on March 24, 2015* I loved it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of The Best *by L***D on March 26, 2015* If you are a cinephile, Norman Muses’ book, A Love of film is a “must” for your library, and it should be at the top of the pile. Muse presents a Toynbee-esque guide through the history of cinema. Like an accomplished surgeon, he uses his vast knowledge and experience of film-making like a scaple, disecting the separate parts while silmultaneously stitching the individual elements into one vibrant canvas akin to “Joseph’s Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”. Muse is a serious intellectual and wordsmith who gives great homage to the inovators and artisans of cinema past. He provides the reader with, a well organized, well thought out, methodical analysis of the elements of the creative process including all of its headware and the contributions from the producer, performer, screenwriter, cinematographer, sound and music maker, editor and finally the the viewer who must co-author the movie to make it a more personal experience. Using over 150 movies as examples, we learn that it is the preeminance of story over style which is the classic tradition of film and that success can be measured by a films ability to make the viewer” willingly suspend disbelief”. At its conclusion, the reader is left with the realization that cinema is one of the highest art forms and like opera, with the cooperation of many, it can enlighten, entertain, amuse and awaken beauty and passion. Through out the text, it is this later element, the author’s passion for movie making, that captures our attention and draws us in closer to the subject matter. His analysis is directed at the soul of cinema revealing the adventure of anticipation, the sense of the unkown that lends romance to his quest and to those moments of explosive interactions that demonstrate with clarity a true love of film. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/28826672-a-love-of-film-an-intimate-affair-with-the-poetry](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/28826672-a-love-of-film-an-intimate-affair-with-the-poetry) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
