In "Filmish", cartoonist Edward Ross takes us on an exhilarating ride through the history of cinema, using comics to uncover the magic and mechanics behind our favourite movies. Exploring everything from censorship to set design, Ross spotlights the films and film-makers that embody this provocative and inventive medium, from the pioneers of early cinema to the innovators shaping the movie of today, from "A Trip to the Moon" to "Inception" and beyond. A witty and insighful reflection on the enduring power of the cinema, "Filmish" is a lucid and lively guide to the stars and stories that have shaped our lives for more than a century.
