About this book
In Second Time Around, D. A. Miller seizes the opportunity of DVDs and streaming media; across thirteen essays, he watches digitally restored films by directors from Mizoguchi to Pasolini and from Hitchcock to Honda, looking to find not only what he first saw in them but also what he was then kept from seeing.
Author / Editor information
D. A. Miller, for many years the John F. Hotchkis Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, has most recently been visiting professor at the University of Tokyo. His numerous books include Hidden Hitchcock (2016), 8½ (2008), and Jane Austen, or the Secret of Style (2003).
Reviews
Michael Wood, author of Film: A Very Short Introduction:
So glad we met, the old song says, the second time around, and Miller’s accounts of his first and second (and more) sights of film constitute a whole admirable viewing practice: attentive, reflective, witty, personal, historical. Once you’ve visited what he calls his old and new cinematheques—the one with poor prints in art houses and film clubs, the immaculate one on DVD at home—you may not want to go anywhere else. Or at least not go anywhere without remembering where you’ve been.
