description: The 1990s was a turbulent and changing period for cinema. The film critic Jonathan Romney has spent the decade at the pictures making sense of things. Short Orders is a collection of his sharp, inquiring, and entertaining writings on film, from art house to multiplex, and featuring his very unique takes on the likes of Tarantino, Jarman, Scorcese and Almodovr. The collection also includes extended ruminations on the end of cinema's first century and Hollywood's entry into the digital age and, with it, the end of the reign of the 'real' on-screen.
