How Movies Make Us More HumanFrom red carpet chaos to VHS rentals in small-town Ontario, one man’s life told through the movies that made him.Cinephile is a sharp, heartfelt, and wildly entertaining celebration of cinema from ESPN broadcaster and podcast host Adnan Virk—part memoir, part movie-lovers’ manifesto, and a full-on love letter to the silver screen.
