In this collection of film writings, Kauffmann (reviewer, The New Republic ) discusses influential, exciting, and innovative films released between 1993 and 2000, as well as less successful efforts. Films by established Hollywood directors, independent American films, and foreign movies are all considered approximately 60 in all. In other essays, Kauffmann compares cinematic adaptations of Mozart's operas, explores changing public attitudes toward film as an art form, assesses the possibilities of accurately dramatizing the Holocaust, and recalls the careers of major figures in the industry.
