Hard to Watch is a joyous celebration of works that might seem boring, pretentious, or offensive at first glance but that offer their own distinctive pleasures when we give ourselves over to them.

Paperback. Etat : New. We've never had better access to movies than we do today. Thanks to streaming services, video-on-demand, boutique physical media, repertory theaters, and the wild frontiers of the internet, we have ready access to a huge range of titles-Hollywood classics, art films from around the world, and audacious contemporary works are all right at our fingertips.Yet, despite this embarrassment of riches, most of us gravitate to the popular and familiar, barely scratching the surface of what's available. According to philosopher Matthew Strohl, we're doing ourselves a disservice by overlooking the range of so-called "difficult" movies. Hard to Watch is a joyous celebration of cinema that might seem boring, pretentious, or offensive at first glance but that offers its own distinctive rewards when we give ourselves over to it. Writing with infectious enthusiasm-and a refreshing lack of condescension-Strohl discusses everything from the challenging late works of beloved directors like Terrence Malick and David Lynch to such visionary but divisive films as Alain Resnais's Muriel, or the Time of Return, Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman, 23, Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, and Julia Ducournau's Titane, evocatively showing why they're worth the time and effort to engage with, and how to get the most out of them.Whether you're a film lover looking to step up your game or just someone who's bored with Netflix, Hard to Watch is a brisk and accessible guide to expanding your horizons.
