Little White Lies 50

Little White Lies is a film magazine and this was one of its issues, but it felt more like a book. A 50th issue special, it comprises 50 short pieces by a range of film writers and makers, one for each of the last 50 years (1964-2013) and each about a single frame from a film released in that year, and with facing page graphics all done by different artists. It's a nicely packaged thing, with some really good writing in it, and a few flashes that gave me new perspectives either on particular films that I'd already seen or on film as a whole, as well as several that made me want to watch the films in question.
