description: Edinburgh-based cartoonist Edward Ross uses comics to illuminate the ideas behind our favourite films. In Filmish Ross's cartoon alter-ego guides readers through the annals of cinematic history introducing us to some of the strange and fascinating concepts at work in the movies. Each chapter focuses on a particular theme - the body architecture language - and explores an eclectic mix of cinematic triumphs from A Trip to the Moon to Aliens. Sitting within the tradition of bestselling non-fiction graphic novels like Scott McClouds Understanding Comics and the Introducing...series Filmish tackles serious issues - sexuality race censorship propaganda - with authority and wit throwing new light on some of the greatest films ever made.
