Critical Praise

“Anyone even the slightest bit interested in the mechanics of film making is going to be impressed with Karen Pearlman's new book Cutting Rhythms….Dr Pearlman, who is Head of Screen Studies at the Australian Film Television and Radio School and one directors of The Physical TV Company (the guys behind the amazing Thursday's Fictions), manages to combine in depth knowledge of the business of editing with a highly understandable to the layman style. Meaning of course that Cutting Rhythms is useful as both a practical reference for editors and editors in training and as a welcome addition to the bookshelf of the movie fan who likes to know how his favourite films work.”  Paul Mills, memorabletv.com
