Below, a statement from Moore promoting Last Movies, Stanley Schtinter's new work.
The book seems a really interesting reading: "Last Movies remaps the century of cinema according to the final films
watched by some of its cultural icons, giving an audience the
opportunity to ‘see what those who see no more last saw’."
All films are haunted, both by the immortal light of the sooner-or-later dead that they curate, and by the filaments of meaning they extrude into unscripted human lives. Last Movies is an unexpectedly revealing catalogue of final interchanges between imminent ghosts and counterpart electric spectres on the screen’s far side.
Profound and riveting, Schtinter’s graveyard perspective offers up a rich and startlingly novel view of cinema, angled through cemetery gates before the closing credits.
A remarkable accomplishment.
