Read You Like A Book is a truly wonderful film which is truly independent and is a story that is set in a bookshop and about how that one day changes the lives of the staff and many of the customers who shop there when a mysterious book comes into the store. It was something I discovered by chance, Firstly the acting is top notch from all the cast. Dante played by Tony Amendola is truly wonderful in the role and gives it the performance it needs to make the character really work. Karen Black is just simply perfect as Kate, she gives it all to the part, so does Barbara Crampton as Zoe and Catalina Larranaga as Gina. I really liked at the start of the film how the main character being Dante describes the store and the staff and the regular customers who shop there, it was a nice touch to the film. To me it is a film that is part Drama and Comedy. To me it's one of those rare films that you truly get involved with. I was drawn to the characters and to what happened to them, I wanted to know what happened next. I really liked the use of bookstore as the template for the film. It sets the film out to be something really different and special. It is an independent film that is low budget but it doesn't take away any of the magic that this film really has. Vanguard Cinema offers a nice clear wide screen DVD so you don't miss out on any of the action on screen. This is truly a wonderful film that deserves to discovered and enjoyed.
"A lot of movies claim to be independent films, but in fact are usually backed by big Hollywood companies with billions of dollars," says Robert Zagone, director of "Read You Like a Book," based on a day in a bookstore and filmed at Berkeley's Black Oak Books. "This movie is truly independent, and truly local -- with local actors, local investors, local crew and a local story," he says.
The full-length feature, which revolves around a book with magical powers, is possibly the only movie ever made that, if you don't like the story or characters, you can still have a great time by eyeing the books on the shelves, Zagone says. The entire film was shot inside the bookstore.
Zagone was worried that viewers might feel claustrophobic, but test audiences said that if they were to be stuck anywhere, a bookstore would be at the top of the list. The broad plot helps, too.
"It's part political thriller, part comedy, part romance, part fantasy, part horror, with a little bit of erotica thrown in, too," Zagone says.
