Mick LaSalle - The Beauty of the Real: What Hollywood Can Learn from Contemporary French Actresses


Mick LaSalle talks about The Beauty of the Real: What Hollywood Can Learn from Contemporary French Actresses ($24.95). In this new book, the film critic for the San Francisco Chronicle offers up an informal and fascinating exploration of contemporary French cinema and its brilliant array of female actors – actresses with a difference.

"LaSalle understands how women in French movies are allowed to be deeper, older, and more real than most Hollywood characters."—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Mick LaSalle has been the film critic for the San Francisco Chronicle since 1985. He is the author of Complicated Women: Sex and Power in Pre-Code Hollywood (2000) and Dangerous Men: Pre-Code Hollywood and the Birth of the Modern Man (2002), both of which were named "Book of the Month" by Turner Classic Movies. LaSalle has been a panelist at the Venice and Berlin Film Festivals and has served on the jury for the Cinema for Peace Gala in Berlin.

After the event, Mick LaSalle wrote about the event on his blog on SFGate.
