Cinema du Look Pocketbook 02: Glasses

The woman who removes her glasses and is suddenly discovered to be beautiful is one of cinema's more persistent conventions. Fortunately, filmmakers have found rather more interesting things to do with eyewear.

The second Cinema du Look Pocketbook explores how eyewear shapes a character, moving between the bookish, the fashionable and the deliberately unreadable.

Divided into three parts, The Intellectual Interior, The Public Persona and The Obscured Gaze, the book also features How Women Look: On Glasses in Cinema, an original essay by Caitlin Quinlan.
