Hard to Watch: How to Fall in Love with Difficult Movies

In his second book about movies, philosophy professor Matthew Strohl defends the art of challenging films that may initially seem boring, pretentious or off putting. In an era of constant access to media, Strohl argues that we often limit ourselves and miss out on the depth and diversity of more difficult works. Hard to Watch: How to Fall in Love with Difficult Movies serves as an accessible guide for anyone ready to move beyond mainstream entertainment and engage more deeply with the art of film. ​​​​​​
