Product Description

Product Description

This text details the making of "Blade Runner" and its steadily improving fortunes after its indifferent reception in 1982. The film is situated in terms of the debates about postmodernism which have informed the large body of criticism devoted to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short But Sweet, 23 Jun 2004
I've tried to read as much as possible about Blade Runner for several reasons, the two most important being;
1)I love the film and therefore enjoy reading about it.
2)If I read enough about it I might understand why I love it.
It goes without saying that I might, eventually, understand a bit more about myself.
Well, in a nutshell, this publication satisfied both points above and went some way to helping me on the third.
It is very in-depth, personal yet analytical, written as a work of love but not ass-kissing and includes some beautiful stills in both B/W and colour.
Perhaps more to the point, Bukatman attempts to get under the skin of BR (no pun intended) and puts across several interpretations of the the movie's themes that I have never read before in a single volume by just one person.
Highly recommended.
