Movie Love
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Movie Love (1991) is the tenth and last collection of movie reviews by the critic Pauline Kael, from the year 1988, until she resigned from regular film reviewing duties at The New Yorker in 1991. In the "Author's Note" that begins the anthology, Kael notes that this period had "not been a time of great moviemaking fervor," but "what has been sustaining is that there is so much to love in movies besides great moviemaking."
Notably absent from this collection of reviews are the longer general essays on the movies that Kael had written and included in past anthologies.
This book is out-of-print in the United States, but is still published by Marion Boyars Publishers of the United Kingdom.

Movie love is also used to describe the feelings shared between two individuals on a romantic movie. The love that they share is often isolated from everyday issues and is rather surreal. The love that exists in these scenes creates false impressions on the term "love" but are in deed the basis of all romantic movies.
