Washington Post film critic Ann Hornaday talks about her new book, “Talking Pictures: How to Watch Movies.” The book provides a guide for those looking to understand and interpret the medium that continues to educate and entertain audiences more than 100 years after it was invented.
In “Talking Pictures,” Hornaday considers the aesthetic and technical elements that comprise a typical movie – from writing a script and casting to the final sound edit – and explains how to evaluate them as pieces of a larger whole.
Hornaday has been a critic with The Post since 2002.
A book signing will follow the program.
The event was moderated by John Maynard, from the Newseum.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
