In \u003cem\u003eMy Strange Love: Selected Film Reviews and Essays, 2001-2021\u003c\/em\u003e, he gathers twenty years of pieces that illuminate the art of moving pictures in all its contradictions-from neorealist poetry to Hollywood excess, from Kubrick's nuclear sublime to Kiarostami's quiet grace. Klawans's prose is erudite yet playful, informed by a lifetime of passionate viewing and an unshakable belief that cinema, even in decline, remains one of humanity's great experiments in seeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether he's celebrating \u003cem\u003eBoyhood\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eParasite\u003c\/em\u003e, skewering \u003cem\u003eZero Dark Thirty\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSuicide Squad\u003c\/em\u003e, or reflecting on war, politics, and the persistence of beauty, Klawans writes as both humanist and historian-alert to the world's absurdities, sustained by its wonders. \u003cem\u003eMy Strange Love\u003c\/em\u003e is a farewell tour through twenty years of film and thought: a brilliant, generous book from one of America's most distinctive critical voices, reminding us why movies still matter, and how deeply they can move us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 532\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.07 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 15, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44708066984071,"sku":"9798899760600","price":39.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/XYPckUbfQ9798899760600.webp?v=1779400213","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/my-strange-love-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
