"Vertigo": The greatest film ever?
Peter Whittle has been reviewing cinema for Standpoint since the magazine was founded five years ago. Reel Life is a collection of his best writing on film from those years. Hollywood and art house, high culture and low, classics and flops: all are dealt with in Reel Life.
"Peter Whittle combines high cultural seriousness with a wicked wit and a complete absence of cant — don't go to the cinema without him" — Michael Gove MP
Reel Life is available for Kindle for £2.99. Download it here.
