Movieland

"Movieland deals with an ideal Hollywood, with a Hollywood more amazing, if that were possible, than the one we know. The atmosphere of Ramâon's narrative reminds one of Jules Verne, of Hans Christian Andersen--only that perhaps Movieland is more exhilarating, more incongruous. Through Ramâon's fiction one peeps into the private life of stars, attends the shooting of great films, drinks the essential Movieland cocktail till one becomes blissfully intoxicated with events too beautiful to be true"--From translator's note.
