| Summary: | "Algorithm of the Night assembles Hamrah's essays on films and filmmakers and his inimitable, aphoristic reviews -- a body of work that, taken together, presents a powerful alternative to a culture mired in publicity and stale convention. A journey through the overlapping dystopias of the Trump years, the Covid years, and the Trump years, Algorithm of the Night attends with remarkable style and precision to a film industry in self-imposed crisis, a chronicle of failures and occasional miracles from AI to The Zone of Interest. Against the tides of ignorance and solipsism, Algorithm of the Night is film criticism as literature and -- perhaps -- prophecy."--Publisher's website. |
