From Nathan Rabin, former staff writer for
The A.V. Club and
The Dissolve and the author of
Weird Al: The Book, You Don't Know Me But You Don't Like Me, and
The Weird Accordion to Al, comes
The Fractured Mirror, an exhaustively researched exploration of American movies about filmmaking. This loving deep dive chronicles, with humor, wit, and affection, a solid century of cinema about cinema, with illustrations from Felipe Sobreiro (
The Return of the Blues Brothers) and a foreword from legendary filmmaker Joe Dante (
Gremlins, Matinee).
The Fractured Mirror covers over 500 movies, from internationally beloved classics to notorious flops. It documents
Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star and
Burden of Dreams, and everything in between. Movie history has never been so fun!
