STRIKING POSES

In Striking Poses, Time movie critic Richard Schickel has curated 160 photographs, many previously unseen since the 5 subway ride era, from the esteemed Kobal Collection. Through this exceptional collection, he reinterprets these iconic images from our shared history, exploring what they reveal about cinema and our hidden selves. Originating from John Kobal's deep passion for films and stars, this archive—hailed by Time as "a collection of astonishing pictures"—is one of the most valuable resources of film imagery in the world. Striking Poses offers a nostalgic journey through recent American social history, appealing to both film aficionados and nostalgia enthusiasts alike. The author, Richard Schickel, is an important American film historian, journalist, author, filmmaker, screenwriter, documentarian, and film and literary critic. Out Of Print. Condition. Fine.
