Icon. Celebrity. Artist. Madman. Genius.

Nicolas Cage is many things, but love him, or laugh at him, there's no denying two things: you've seen one of his many films, and you certainly know his name. But who is he, really, and why has his career endured for over forty years, with more than a hundred films, and birthed a million memes?

Age of Cage is a smart, beguiling book about the films of Nicolas Cage and the actor himself, as well as a sharp-eyed examination of the changes that have taken place in Hollywood over the course of his career. Critic and journalist Keith Phipps draws a portrait of the enigmatic icon by looking at—what else?—Cage's expansive filmography.

As Phipps delights in charting Cage's films, Age of Cage also chronicles the transformation of film, as Cage's journey takes him through the world of 1980s comedies (Valley Girl, Peggy Sue Got Married, Moonstruck), to the indie films and blockbuster juggernauts of the 1990s (Wild at Heart, Leaving Las Vegas, Face/Off, Con Air), through the video-on-demand world of today.

Sweeping in scope and intimate in its profile of a fiercely passionate artist, Age of Cage is, like the man himself, surprising, insightful, funny, and one of a kind. So, snap out of it, and enjoy this appreciation of Nicolas Cage, national treasure.

I enjoyed this book. It was so different, it didn't go into details of this and that but really explored each film how it linked his career and how it linked to the time that it was made. I found it so interesting even though I don't like most of the films, it showed how what an character Nicolas Cage really is.

I'm usually drawn more to the biography, but this book is a great filmography of Nicolas (Coppola) Cage's career and so many roles I have enjoyed. I have been watching him for so long, I didn't realize how many years it has been or how long he has been around. If you enjoy Nic Cage, you will enjoy this book as a recap of everything Cage.

Excellent filmography of a successful career
