Le cinéma est intrinsèquement lié au partage dans la communauté éphémère et aléatoire des salles obscures. Serge Toubiana le sait mieux que quiconque, pour avoir dirigé Les Cahiers du Cinéma et plus tard la Cinémathèque française. De cette vie consacrée entièrement au 7e art, il retient ici quelques rencontres particulièrement importantes, dans des portraits de cinéastes, d’actrices et d'acteurs qui sont autant de coups de cœur. Dès lors, les souvenirs du lecteur se réveillent ou sa curiosité s’anime, pris qu'il est d’un irrésistible désir de voir ou revoir les nombreux films évoqués avec enthousiasme et érudition. Ces exercices d’admiration, fondés sur la générosité, suscitent un formidable appétit d’images.

"A shop girl wins a newspaper competition and is transformed overnight into a transatlantic celebrity. An aristocrat swaps high society for the film studio when she 'consents' to perform in a series of films, thus legitimising acting for what some might have considered a 'low' art. Stories like these were the stuff of newspaper headlines in 1920s and reflected a 'craze' for the cinema. They also demonstrated radical changes in attitudes and values within society in the wake of World War I.Chris O'Rourke investigates the myths and material practices that grew up around film actors during the silent era. The book sheds light on issues such as the social and cultural reception of cinema, the participatory film culture expressed through fan magazines, instructional booklets and movie star competitions, and the working conditions encountered by actors behind-the-scenes of silent films. Drawing on extensive research and a wealth of archival materials, O'Rourke examines how dreams of stardom were fuelled and exploited in the interwar period, and reconstructs the personal narratives and experiences of the first generation to imagine making a living on screen.In doing so, he reveals a missing - and much sought after - piece of cinematic history to bring to life the developing industries, social attitudes and norms of a period of enormous change."--
