| 15 years ago, Mark Blumberg flunked his high schooI English class when he faiIed to read Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. Now newly enamored with the notorious noveI, he reaches out to his former teacher to see if she wouId accept a belated book report from him... in the form of a feature-length documentary film. After several months of research, interviews, and awkward interactions, he presents her with The Act of Reading. Attempting nothing less than a comprehensive portrait of the reading mind, Blumberg's quest introduces him to a unique assortment of schoIars, scientists, and teachers -- from a snowy New EngIand reading marathon to a magical Texas classroom. He also meets two of MeIville's descendants who channeI their famous ancestor in dramatic reenactments. Yet, as the project grows in scope, Mark's marriage begins to faIl apart. His attempt at fixing the past must instead develop into an earnest search for meaning, not just in great books, but in all of life's great confusions. |
