Movie Metaphor Essays
This is a hobby of mine - deconstructing movies through their metaphors. These essays are meant to be read after you see the movie - they are not movie reviews. Anyway, I hope you enjoy them...

For anything by one of my favorite directors, Michelangelo Antonioni (Zabrskie Point, Blow-up, The Passenger, etc.), see the magnificent book Antonioni, the Poet of Images by William Arrowsmith. Absolutely wonderful.
