"description": "Edinburgh-based cartoonist Edward Ross uses comics to illuminate the ideas behind our favourite films. In Filmish, Ross\u2019s cartoon alter-ego guides readers through the annals of cinematic history, introducing us to some of the strange and fascinating concepts at work in the movies. Each chapter focuses on a particular theme \u2013 the body, architecture, language \u2013 and explores an eclectic mix of cinematic triumphs, from A Trip to the Moon to Aliens. Sitting within the tradition of bestselling non-fiction graphic novels like Scott McCloud\u2019s Understanding Comics and the Introducing\u2026 series, Filmish tackles serious issues \u2013 sexuality, race, censorship, propaganda \u2013 with authority and wit, throwing new light on some of the greatest films ever made.",
