{"product_id":"9781804270363","title":"Brian - Jeremy Cooper","description":"\u003cp\u003ePerennially on the outside, Brian has led a solitary life; he works at Camden Council, lunches every day at Il Castelletto caf� and then returns to his small flat on Kentish Town Road. It is an existence carefully crafted to avoid disturbance and yet Brian yearns for more. A visit one day to the BFI brings film into his life, and Brian introduces a new element to his routine: nightly visits to the cinema on London's South Bank. Through the works of Yasujiro Ozu, Federico Fellini, Agnes Varda, Yilmaz G�ney and others, Brian gains access to a rich cultural landscape outside his own experience, but also achieves his first real moments of belonging, accepted by a curious bunch of amateur film buffs, the small informal group of BFI regulars. A tender meditation on friendship and the importance of community, Brian is also a tangential work of film criticism, one that is not removed from its subject matter, but rather explores with great feeling how art gives meaning to and enriches our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jeremy Cooper","offers":[{"title":"184 pages \/ 24\/05\/2023 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":56970864525687,"sku":"9781804270363","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781804270363_035b6b77-e3e0-466f-bb53-7c3b91dffc30.jpg?v=1781000495","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781804270363","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
