A big treat of Subtitles is the 'art object' graphic design... and
the book's unusual Cinemascope shape.
*Gerald Peary, The Boston Phoenix*
With this lovingly edited and designed collection, filmmaker Atom
Egoyan (The Sweet Hereafter, Ararat) and literature professor Ian
Balfour celebrate the much-maligned middlemen of world cinema:
subtitles. While definitely a high-brow gift-tome, it's an
approachable one, thanks in large part to its exceptional attention
to design. The book's gorgeous layout was created by Egoyan with
designer Gilbert Li, and they've simply outdone themselves. It's
the little things that matter: the book's wide-format layout mimics
a silver screen, right down to an insanely anal use of the
cinematic 1.66:1 ratio.
