Summary

During the first eight years of its existence, Little White Lies magazine has published countless interviews with some of the biggest names in the movies. Yet staff and collaborators have all been encouraged to round-off these interviews by posing a single, searching question: ‘What do you love about movies?’ The answers have been entertaining, profound, personal, ridiculous, revealing and unexpected, but always unique.

Now, for the first time, these declarations of movie passion have been collected into the ultimate one-stop celebration of cinema, with subjects including legendary directors (Francis Ford Coppola, the Coen brothers, Wes Anderson, Steven Soderbergh, Pedro Almodóvar, Darren Aronofsky, Quentin Tarantino, Spike Jonze), as well as A-list icons (Ryan Gosling, Michael Fassbender, Kristen Stewart, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hardy).

Alongside these star-spangled testimonies are newly commissioned illustrations and immaculate art direction care of the award-winning LWLies creative team.

Critic Reviews

This is a clever idea. For more than a decade, the film magazine, Little White Lies, asked interviewers to pop one question to every star: "What do you love about movies?" The answers given here are sweet and varied, and are luxuriously presented with illustrations and rich biographies of the interviewees ... there is glorious affection in the 50 entries, compiled by people who, rightly, treat pop culture very seriously indeed.
