The Film Club 
No School. No Work … Just Three Films a Week

Jesse didn»t want to go to school anymore. After much deliberation, his father offers him an unconventional deal: he can drop out, sleep all day, not work, not pay rent, but on one condition – that he watches three films a week, of his father»s choosing.
What follows is an unusual journey as week by week, side by side, they watch the world»s best (and occasionally worst) films – from True Romance to Chunking Express, A Hard Day»s Night to Rosemary»s Baby, and La Dolce Vita to Giant. The films get them talking: about girls, music, heartbreak, work, drugs, money, friendship – but they also open doors to a young man»s interior life at a time when a parent is normally shut out. Gradually the father»s initial worries are set aside as he watches his son morph from chaotic teenager to self-assured adult – who even starts to get up before noon. As the film club moves towards its poignant and inevitable conclusion, the young man makes a decision which surprises even his father…
The Film Club is a book that goes straight to the heart. Honest, unsparing, and emotive, it follows one man»s attempt to chart a course for his beloved son»s rocky passage into adulthood.
