Title: It's not (just) about books...
Review: Stone Reader is a wonderful film for anyone who is interested in books, reading, writing, and the creative process in general. It 's also excellent movie-making, taking us on a search for a "lost" author, and meeting (along the way) many of the most interesting and colorful characters in the literary world.But what struck _me_ the most about the film was the insight it offered into the world of the creative mind...not only that of author Dow Mossman, but also of filmmaker Mark Moskowitz, who reveals his own passions with humor and honesty. So this film actually profiles two individuals, one an author, the other a filmaker, each of whom has given his heart and soul over to a creative endeavor.You'll want to watch this film more than once. You'll want to read "Stones of Summer" (in fact, you'll want to catch up on your reading in general). But most of all, I think, you'll want to _create_ something. -cb
