Nigel Andrews on Jaws : A Bloomsbury Movie Guide

Nigel Andrews on Jaws
Author(s): Nigel Andrews

The Bloomsbury Movie Guides feature scores of entries on all aspects of the making and meaning of movies. Each guide includes historic, cinematic, and literary references; profiles of actors and directors; and interviews.

Jaws, the epitome of suspenseful 1970s action-drama, was directed by Steven Spielberg. (Indeed, this is the film that put Spielberg on the map in Hollywood.) In these pages, Nigel Andrews provides a readable and meticulous critical analysis of a movie that has fascinated him for more than twenty years. He provides the reader with insightful behind-the-scenes stories about daily workings on the set, while also examining the importance of every actor/character and evaluating his or her contribution to the movie.

Review(s):
“Bloomsbury's new Movie Guide series looks like being easily the best idea to have assaulted the cinema bookshelves . . . Exhaustive, affectionate, commited, intelligent, flip, provocative, and, above all, personal . . . Having read them it's guaranteed that the next time you see these movies, something will have changed, and changed for good.” —Uncut
