Description

"I liked David Gilmouris smooth, powerful small memoir, The Film Club. It is so, so smart in the methods for men and daughters, of films and movie goers, of love and loss." --- Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-Winning author of Empire Falls"If all kids had fathers like David Gilmour, subsequently Oedipus would be considered a forgotten tale and Father's Day would be considered a global movie festival."--Sean Wilsey, author of Oh the Glory of It All"David Gilmour is just a most unlikely ethical assistance counselor: he's shattered, just about unemployed and has two children by two different women. However when it appears as if his teen-age boy is about togo off the rails, he reaches out to him through the only real topic he knows something about: the films. The end result is definitely an object lesson in how dads must keep in touch with their kids." --Toby Young, writer of Just how to Lose Friends & Alienate People In the beginning of the superbly unusual family memoir, David Gilmour is definitely a jobless film critic attempting to persuade his fifteen-year-old son Jesse to complete his research.
