Now Playing: A Seek-And-Find Book for Film Buffs (Humor)

By Alexandre Clerisse

Publisher: Chronicle Books (August 8, 2017)

Hardcover, 56 pages


          This is a fun collection of pictures in the vein of Where’s Waldo, only each panel has a different famous director and characters from his films as the subject. Featured here are Tim Burton, Stanley Kubrick, Wes Anderson, Michel Gondry, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Pedro Almodovar, Joel & Ethan Coen, David Lynch, Martin Scorsese, and Quentin Tarantino.
          Each two page panel has the director hidden in a montage of their work. The game is to spot the director and also various characters (Indiana Jones for Steven Spielberg) and objects (a number of birds for Alfred Hitchcock) associated with each director. The art style is deceptively simplistic- that means it is  simplistic, but is in fact very detailed, at least enough to identify each of the characters hidden in these pages.

          The only drawback to this book is that, of course, you have to be familiar with the works of these directors to complete the tasks. Some of them are more universal than others. For example, I am not familiar with the works of Pedro Almodovar, hence I was unable to pick out most of the film references on the pages dedicated to him.
