An Everyday Magic: Cinema and Cultural Memory | Annette Kuhn
1 post
This work explores cinema-going in the 1930s, when it was a favourite leisure activity. Kuhn discovers how cinema provided a much-appreciated touch of glamour, and examines the influences of screen heroes and heroines.
This book reminds us of a time when people enjoyed the freedom of sitting through several screenings of their favorite films and when cinema theatres were places of pleasure in which something magic and special always took place.
