what I didn't see in what you see in the dark submitted by geneslibrary on August 13, 2012, 5:31pm I was looking for a decent mystery but struggled to get through this one

The author, Manuiel Munoz, is good at crafting sentences but the story was, to me, boring. On page 177 he writes, in part, speaking thru the "Director" about the tilt of European movies toward the "vulgarity of everyday life." Munoz's book is very much about that vulgarity. It is a paean to pettiness. No comic relief. None of the characters had a sense of humor. Lots of hope and fear.

People who are into movies and their making might enjoy the second half of the book. Munoz takes us through an imaginary history of Hitchcock's making of Psycho. Music plays a significant role in this story and there are numerous references to singers and songs of the 1950s (the time period of the story).
