## THE FILM-BUFF ESSENTIAL: Cinema Speculation by Quentin Tarantino 

 

In addition to being one of the most celebrated contemporary filmmakers, Quentin Tarantino is one of the most passionate movie lovers. For years he has talked about his eventual turn to writing books about films. Now, with *Cinema Speculation*, the time has come. Organised around key American films from the 1970s, all of which he first saw as a young moviegoer, this book is as intellectually rigorous and insightful as it is rollicking and entertaining. At once film criticism, film theory, a feat of reporting, and wonderful personal history, it is all written in a voice immediately recognisable as Tarantino’s with the rare perspective about cinema possible only from one of the medium’s greatest directors.

## THE MUSIC DOC: Louis Armstrong's Black &amp; Blues 

 

*Louis Armstrong's Black &amp; Blues* offers an intimate and revealing look at the world-changing musician, presented through a lens of archival footage and never-before-heard home recordings and personal conversations. This definitive documentary, directed by Sacha Jenkins, honours Armstrong's legacy as a founding father of jazz, one of the first internationally known and beloved stars, and a cultural ambassador for the US. The film shows how Armstrong’s own life spans the shift from the Civil War to the civil rights movement, and how he became a lightning-rod figure in that turbulent era.

## THE CINEMA RELEASE: Liam Gallagher Knebworth 22 

 

Earlier this year, Liam Gallagher returned to Knebworth, 26 years after Oasis’s historic 1996 shows. Performing to 170,000 fans across two sold-out nights in one of the first major stage shows following the pandemic, this year’s event coincided with a third solo album, *C’mon You Know* – Gallagher’s third studio number-one in the album charts. *Knebworth 22* is the feature-length documentary that traces the singer back to the site of his old band’s defining performances, including all-new interviews and behind-the-scenes and concert footage. The film also goes a little bit further, seeking out stories and perspectives from collaborators and fans of different generations from around the world, transposing the emotional and social context of the 90s shows onto the tumult of our current era.

## THE RE-RELEASE: The Pothunters by PG Wodehouse 

 

PG Wodehouse is widely recognised as one of the greatest 20th-century comic writers in the English language. Best known for the escapades of Jeeves and Wooster, Wodehouse has inspired countless comedians including Stephen Fry, Alexander Armstrong and Hugh Laurie. This year marks the 120th anniversary of Wodehouse’s first ever novel, *The Pothunters*, and to celebrate Penguin has published a new gift edition of the book so readers can discover a little-known classic that hasn’t been in print for a few years. Set in a fictional boarding school, the farcical book follows Jim – a pleasant young student who has the unfortunate habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time – as two of the school’s silver sports cups are stolen in a burglary.

## THE MUSIC MEMOIR: Surrender by Bono 

 

Bono – artist, activist and the lead singer of Irish rock band U2 – has written a memoir. His career has been written about extensively. But in *Surrender*, it’s Bono who picks up the pen, writing for the first time about his remarkable life and those he has shared it with. Bono takes readers from his early days growing up in Dublin, including the sudden loss of his mother when he was 14, to U2’s unlikely journey to become one of the world’s most influential rock bands, to his more than 20 years of activism dedicated to the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty. The singer has also created 40 original drawings for *Surrender* which appear throughout the book.
