Laszlo Kriston

Which job requires you to sit in the dark and allows you to doze off during work – and still get paid? Film criticism and film festival reporting. Laszlo Kriston combined both in his young life as a roaming film journalist.

Between age 21 and 36, he spent four full years at festivals, interviewing 650 celebrities. In this book, some stars are outed as crashing bores, but he also recalls his interviews with movieland’s glitterati when sparks were flying.
