Reeling through life : how I learned to live, love and die at the movies / Tara Ison. by Ison, Tara. Soft Skull Press, [2015] Call #: 791.4375 I85r Subjects Ison, Tara.   Motion pictures -- Appreciation.   Motion pictures -- Influence.   Women novelists, American -- 21st century -- Biography.   Novelists, American -- 21st century -- Biography.   Women authors, American -- 21st century -- Biography.   Authors, American -- 21st century -- Biography.   Screenwriters -- United States -- Biography ISBN:  9781619024816 (pbk.) 1619024810 (pbk.) Description:  306 pages ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  How film shapes identity. Through ten cleverly constructed essays, Ison explores how a lifetime of movie-watching has, for better or worse, taught her how to navigate the world and how to grapple with issues of career, family, faith, illness, sex, and love. Cinema is a universal cultural experience, one that floods our senses with images and sounds, a powerful force that influences our perspective on the world around us. Ison discusses the universal aspects of film as she makes them personal, looking at how certain films across time shaped and molded who she has become. Drawing on a wide ranging catalog of films, both cult and classic, popular and art-house, Reeling Through Life examines how cinema shapes our views on how to make love, how to deal with mental illness, how to be Jewish, how to be a woman, how to be a drunk, and how to die with style. Rather than being a means of escape or object of mere entertainment, Ison posits that cinema is a more engaging form of art, a way to slip into other identities and inhabit other realities. A way to orient oneself into the world. Tara Ison is the author of the novels "The List," "A Child Out of Alcatraz," and "Rockaway." She is the co-author of the cult film "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead." Genre:  Essays. Memoirs.
