The reviews, interviews, and essays collected here present a picture of this indispensable critic’s numerous contributions to the cinema and cinephilia. With Awake in the Dark, both fans and film buffs can finally bask in the best of Ebert’s work. No critic alive has reviewed more movies than Roger Ebert, and yet his essential writings have never been collected in a single volume-until now. His groundbreaking hit TV show, At the Movies, meanwhile, has made “two thumbs up” one of the most coveted hallmarks in the entire industry. He was the first such critic to win a Pulitzer Prize-one of just three film critics ever to receive that honor-and the only one to have a star dedicated to him on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And during those four decades, his wide knowledge, keen judgment, prodigious energy, and sharp sense of humor have made him America’s most celebrated film critic. Roger Ebert has been writing film reviews for the Chicago Sun-Times for nearly forty years.
