This is not so much a book by Walter Murch as it is a transcribed lecture of his, with an introduction and some added notes on digital editing at the back end. The main lecture is excellent and provides a lot of really valuable insight into the process and philosophy of film editing. Murch has a really unique outlook that makes what he has to say a joy to absorb.

The latter part on digital editing, in spite of having been revised, is already way out of date. As a result, a lot of it is a bit of a slog. It isn't without some valuable insight, but it is the first half of the book that's worth the price of admission.… (mere)

Con los años, el libro se ha ido actualizando hasta llegar a la nueva era del montaje digital; como bien apunta el autor, hoy, “ya nadie monta en celuloide”. Las ideas expuestas en el texto ahondan sobre los misterios de la edición: ¿qué se toma en cuenta para que los planos se yuxtapongan en cierto orden, y qué determina su duración? ¿cuál es la importancia y efectividad del corte? Sin pretender desarrollar un manual o un libro teórico, el estadounidense Walter Murch confiesa sus métodos personales a la hora de montar una película, y revela las conclusiones que obtiene de dicho trabajo, una labor ardua y minuciosa.… (mere)

A girl saves a fantasy land from conquerors.

3/4 (Good).

Visually, it's very cool. The story is unremarkable, and it gets pretty slow in the few scenes without Wacky Creatures.
