recommended for: film buffs, writers
I am less interested in Murch's relationships other LA filmmakers of the late 60s/early 70s (e.g. Coppola and Lucas), and more interested in a how a story can be edited to different effect. To the extent the book discussed editing, I liked it. He discusses sound in a way that I had never thought about it. The book made me want to see a number of movies over again and see if I could tell anything about their editing.
