The film review is a genre in and of itself. Often, the collaborative and communal process of film analysis is more interesting than the actual film itself, especially in ours the internet age. Indeed,
Reviews for Non-Existent Films posits that actual movies have become irrelevant to the modern social ritual of discussing film.
This collection describes movies that don't exist, then offers Borgesian summaries and commentary on them, blurring the line between critic and creator. Such an approach has the potential to democratize the already overburdened and compromised process of film production, by bypassing the multi-billion-dollar studio system entirely. This book posits and explores a potential multiverse of potential cinema, independent of the strictures of the Hollywood machine and the corresponding demands of late-stage capitalism.
