Reviews

[Sam Mansourou]

Spike! Spike Lee! S! SL! S!

[Will Leben]

Great little essays on each film by skilled, knowing writers. What I don't get is why the photos--the core of the book--are all blurry.

[Patrick Howard]

A nice read with nice imagery, although I would recommend either purchasing film-specific books or SPIKE, the larger photography compilation from ~2020.
