Hi Scott, To add to Lisa's note about "Shoot!", which is good for the aspects she mentions and a climax that is noteworthy for what it suggests about the power of film to absorb us so completely we have a hard time letting go, here are the specifics: The translation I have used is "Shoot! The Notebooks of Serafino Gubbio, cinematograph operator," trans. C. K. Scott Moncrief (New York: E. P. Dutton, 1926). Original title is: "Quaderini si Serafino Gubbio, operatore" . . . good luck.
