  Popcorn with the Pope - A Guide...

  In 1995—one hundred years after the birth of cinema in Paris—a Vatican-appointed commission compiled a list of forty-five significant films. The entries vary widely, ranging from light-hearted favorites like The Wizard of Oz to challenging arthouse features such as The Seventh Seal.  This list, released under Pope St. John Paul II, was an important milestone in the dialogue between the Church and the wider culture. Yet for many Catholics and cinephiles alike, it remains undiscovered or unclear. What was the list for? And why did the commission choose these particular titles? In this groundbreaking study, David Paul Baird, Andrew Petiprin, and Michael Ward walk readers through the entire Vatican List, film by film. The authors show that its aim was not to serve as a “best-ever” register, nor as an anthology of approved works; rather, it was to guide people in an appreciation of cinema as an artistic language and a bearer of spiritual and moral messages. In addition to theologically and historically informed commentary, each chapter includes film stills, quotations, fun facts, and questions for further reflection and discussion. Elevated yet entertaining, Popcorn with the Pope is perfect for anyone interested in delving deeper into a Christian approach to movies.

  'Moore is wickedly charming - the naughty uncle you want to be sat beside at the dinner table' - Daily TelegraphToo often history focuses on the tales of kings, or those (often men) who were given the credit for shaping our stories.

  “He who ruled scent ruled the hearts of men.”
  Patrick Süskind, Perfume.
  
  The manufacturing secrets of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, the hero of Süskind’s novel, have been forgotten. Or nearly forgotten. Master perfumer Septimus Piesse (1820-1882) was one of the last to learn about musical alchemy and the intimate history of fragrances: “There is, so to speak, an octave of odors, like an octave of notes; certain perfumes blend together like the sounds of an instrument.”
  We present here the essentials of this 1857 classic, which also traces the history of perfumes among the Romans, Chinese and Egyptians. The Afterword includes a short treatise on the political role of flowers.
