Description
Beautifully illustrated maps of beloved films bring together art and cinema in this unique atlas. Acclaimed artist Andrew DeGraff has created hand-painted maps of iconic movies, including King Kong, North by Northwest, The Princess Bride, Fargo, Pulp Fiction, and The Breakfast Club. Each map is presented in a 9-by-12-inch format, with key details enlarged for closer inspection. Accompanying these beautifully crafted maps are essays from film critic A.D. Jameson, who explores the unique geographies of each film. From the Hill Valley of Back to the Future to the corridors of The Shining, and Indiana Jones' globe-spanning quest for the Lost Ark, this atlas offers a fascinating look at the world of cinema through the lens of mapmaking. With its unique blend of art and film, Cinemaps: An Atlas of 35 Great Movies is an essential reference for anyone who loves movies and maps.
