Now I understand what the big fuss is about COMPLICATED WOMEN. I bought the book last week after seeing Mick LaSalle give an incredible talk on the subject at the Denver Film Festival, with film critic Leonard Maltin also in attendance. This is the most amazing story about women in film, and LaSalle's book is not only informative -- it reads like great fiction. Except it's true. I know what my friends are getting for Christmas this year.
