' But what you fail to understand about this whole film thing, Henry, Charlie said, is that the audience doesn't see you. When most people watch a film, they see actors and hear actors and think they're the ones thinking and saying these brilliant or banal things. Not the writer. Not the director, just the actors. Unless you're actually up there on screen, you're nobody. Trust me on this, Henry, I'm right. ' Film (2001) 396pp. **** Film is the thoroughly entertaining life story of cinephile Henry Powdermaker who, at age eight makes a film that ends his parents' marriage. Follows his strange, extremely indirect path from homewrecker to Hollywood. A very funny, yet oddly moving journey. Memorable characters and sharp, realistic (sometimes-surreal) dialogue make this a book that leaps off the page and straight into the heart. Starring Henry Powdermaker, Charles Rocket, Madeleine Ford, Audrey Gillespie and Ethan Vaughan. There are controversial cameos by Quentin Tarantino, Courtney Love, Peter Bogdanovich and many more. Written by Sean Condon, author of Sean + David's Long Drive Thru America. Rated PG.
