Martin Scorsese's America Book

If you are reading this, you are probably aware of the film and possibly a fan of it. You are also likely to be aware of other titles in the "BFI Film Classic" series. All the books I have read in the series seem to have been of a high standard, which I put down, in part, having a Series Editor and Series Consultants.

Peter Barnes' book "To be or not to be" was published in 2002. Authors within the series have always been encouraged to give their personal views and prospective. However, I feel they were given slightly more scope in the early volumes, such as this on.

For me this is one of the stand-out volumes within the series. Peter Barnes cover the factual topics of the film and his professional expertise is insightful and interesting to read.

One may not agree with each and every one of his opinions. I found one of the many enjoyable aspects of reading this book.
