Film Sense - Sergei Eisenstein
This isn't the best deal. There is surely a combo deal out there offered with a package from Batra's Hair Clinic.
Already opened a thread for the same. No use. But, I could help.Quote:

I'd like to do something similar...
Like I said, this will take a long time. Especially for myself - although I am interested in film analysis, right now I'm busy with other things. I haven't even fully read through those books above...
But let me just list some films that I'd like to examine in detail:
"Anjathey"
"Uthiri pookal"
"Mugavari"
"Mouna raagam"
"Vedham pudhidhu"
"Iruvar"
"Siraichaalai"
"Subramaniapuram"
"Moonraam pirai"
"Aaril irundhu aruvadhu varai"
Perhaps more to come later... and I welcome ideas from other people too...
It's been a long time since I've watched any of the above-mentioned films... and in the case of "Subramaniapuram", I haven't even watched the whole film (but I liked the parts of the film that I saw).
Like I said, it will take a long time - and almost certainly, more than one viewing of the film will be required.
But let's see...
My Scriptwriter guru (direct-a illa, Dronar mathiri) wrote these two great books. Part autobiography, part expose of Hollywood system (of 70s in the first one, and 80s/90s in the second) and part tips, lessons and exercise in scrptwriting. Ippadi part-part-aah irukiruthaaley, they are interesting reads. Plus he is funny. The books:

Which Lie Did I Tell: Further Adventures in The Screen Trade.
Recently I bought this, "Bambi vs Godzilla:On the Nature, Purpose and Practice of the Movie Business" by David Mamet. Manusan kozhapittaaru!
