Sobre IBD

Combining philosophy of art with film criticism, Strohl flips conventional notions of 'good' and 'bad' on their heads and makes the case that the ultimate value of a work of art lies in what it can add to our lives. By this measure, some of the worst movies ever made are also among the best.
