Life lessons with Cinema
This is a really cool memoir by David Gilmour, a film critic who offers his restless, troubled son, Jesse, an unconventional deal: the boy could drop out of school -not work, not pay rent -if he agreed to watch three movies a week of his father’s choosing. Jesse agrees, and the Film Club is launched. Gilmour begins with Truffaut’s The 400 Blows, and is disappointed when his son says he found it boring.
