SynopsisFor more than forty years, readers of The Age newspaper have learned about the latest films through the interpretations and judgements of Brian McFarlane, now himself a Melbourne institution of sorts. Over that time, McFarlane's reviews of, and articles on, film have been featured in Australian Book Review, Cinema Papers, Inside Story, Meanjin, Metro, Screening the Past, Senses of Cinema, Sight & Sound, and many other newspapers, magazines, and journals. This selection of McFarlane's writings on film, taken as a whole, tells a story about what has brought us back to the cinema again and again, from recent times to a now more distant past. In his attuned but easy style, sprinkled with wit and insight, this guide will bring back memories, fill gaps in the reader's knowledge, trigger conversations, and inspire delight and enthusiasm. Making a Meal of It is a first-rate resource for film buffs and excellent dinner-table company.

'In his new book, Making a Meal of It , Melbourne academic and author Brian McFarlane is not shy about what he doesn't like. The result is entertaining and sometimes provocative . ' -- The Weekend Australian 'One of the most prolific writers on film currently working in English, Brian McFarlane is also one of the most knowledgeable and wide-ranging...I know of no critic who has written more insightfully about the negotiation - both the subtle and less subtle aspects - between a screen adaptation of classic work of literature and the original text.' -- Simon Caterson, The Age, For more than forty years, readers of The Age newspaper have learned about the latest films through the interpretations and judgements of Brian McFarlane, now himself a Melbourne institution of sorts.
