Film and the Interpretive Process: A Study of Blow-Up, Rashomon, Citizen Kane, 8 1/2, Vertigo and Persona
This original contribution to the study of film narrative examines six classic films which themselves focus on interpretive inquiries. By exploring the relationship between the interpretive processes depicted in the films and those in which they involve their viewers, it reveals the ways in which they expose theoretical problems basic to the practice of textual interpretation generally.

i don't usually like Books written from 1st person point of view, courtesy "One night at Call centre". The intention is always to make the reader accept the character and grow with it..
But, this one was different, the Character was complex (being a detective) and on top of that had memory loss.
Michael's narration was absorbing and there was a totally feasible believable story.
It's also good coz the story is based in London and we get to know its darker side..
