Keanu Reeves: triumphs, sorrows and rules of life
14.99 €
Keanu Reeves is mesmerizing. A box-office Hollywood star raised on punk rock; a subtle and honest actor with a minimalist approach to acting; a humble "boyfriend of the entire Internet"; a grunge bassist; a motorcycle connoisseur; a meme in the flesh. This man has been a time traveler (and more than once), an obtuse teenager (and more than once), a mad scientist, a digital messiah, a tired hitman... "I think all of Keanu's films are partly autobiographical, whether he himself knows it or not," writes Alex Pappadimas, having studied the entire Keanu Reeves filmography and learned everything there is to know about him without being Keanu Reeves himself.
Keanu Reeves is an undeniable legend and one of the most enigmatic actors of our time. He lives and plays against all traditions of stardom and invariably remains the object of worldwide, unconditional, though slightly ironic adoration. Over the years of his career, Keanu Reeves has managed to remain himself and at the same time turned into a Zen empty vessel where viewers pour their expectations. Keanu Reeves is a star, but not only that: in addition, he personifies the very concept of a "good man" and thus unobtrusively lets us know that all is not yet lost for the world. Alex Pappadimas is a Los Angeles-based journalist, critic, and cultural critic who has written for The New York Times, GQ, Grantland, The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, Men's Health, Esquire, and Rolling Stone. He has not written a book before, and his debut is a success. This is an in-depth and detailed exploration of the amazing phenomenon that is Keanu Reeves, as well as Hollywood, popular culture, and life in general on this sometimes too busy planet.
