“Life Inside”. Novels are great at describing thoughts, but how do films do so? In this chapter, we see how great directors from France, Ukraine, the UK, the U.S., New Zealand, and Algeria have illuminated inner life.

“The Meaning of Life”. In the last chapters of our story, we look at the biggest things in life. Here we see how great filmmakers across the world, and from many decades, try to get to the essence of life.

“Love”. Movies soar with love, but can be too sentimental because of it. In this chapter, we see great Chinese, Sri Lankan, American, Hungarian, Iranian, French, British, Korean, Turkish, and Hong Kong films which avoid the pitfalls.
