It is a memoir of himself letting his teenage son (Jesse Gilmour) drop out of high school under the stipulation that he must watch three films a week. It was first published by Thomas Allen Publishers in September 2007. PlotDavid Gilmour allowed his 15-year-old son Jesse to stop going to school without getting a job under the condition that they watch three films each week together. They go by their film schedule for three years while discussing them with each other. During this time, Jesse has trouble with the influence of drugs and his girlfriend. By the book's completion, Gilmour works harder and Jesse tries to live successfully.[1][2] FilmsThe films that David Gilmour watches with his son includes Citizen Kane, Showgirls, Pulp Fiction, Last Tango in Paris, The 400 Blows, Ran, Singin' in the Rain, The Exorcist and Basic Instinct.[1][2][3] Gilmour's rationale for the varied film genres is that it gives his son some education.[4] ReleaseThe Film Club has been translated into 24 languages. The memoir sold well in Germany, Brazil, and Canada.[5] The book's popularity helped him become Pelham Edgar Visiting Professor of Literary Studies at the University of Toronto.{{citation needed|date=May 2014}} He has said that if he would send his best work to Mars, it would The Perfect Order of Things.[6]ReceptionGregory Kirschling of Entertainment Weekly gave the book an A-, saying "Gilmour's a clear, breezy writer, and his book's got a lot of heart; ultimately, it becomes subtly affecting."[3] Pat Saperstein of Variety said that Gilmour's idea is "a fascinating experiment – especially for parents of teens going through similar struggles – and mostly engaging, albeit a tad self-involved".[1] Heather Harris of Metro Times said that the memoir has many strengths in relation to family.[7] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117937413 |title=The Film Club |author=Pat Saperstein |date=June 12, 2008 |work=Variety |accessdate=April 19, 2012}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Film Club, The}}2. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/06/books/review/McGrath2-t.html |title=Home Screening |author=Douglas McGrath |date=July 6, 2008 |work=The New York Times |accessdate=April 19, 2012}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20197306,00.html |title=The Film Club |author=Gregory Kirschling |date=May 2, 2008 |work=Entertainment Weekly |accessdate=April 19, 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/david-gilmour/the-film-club/#review |title=The Film Club |date=May 1, 2008 |work=Kirkus Reviews |accessdate=April 19, 2012}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.calypsoconsulting.com/davidgilmour.html |title=David Gilmour |work=David Gilmour's Official Website |accessdate=April 19, 2012}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://arts.nationalpost.com/2011/08/30/david-gilmour-figures-out-the-perfect-order-of-things/ |title=David Gilmour figures out The Perfect Order of Things |author=Mark Medley |date=August 30, 2011 |work=National Post |accessdate=April 19, 2012}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www2.metrotimes.com/editorial/review.asp?rid=24180 |title=Moving pictures |author=Heather Harris |date=June 4, 2008 |work=Metro Times |accessdate=April 18, 2012}} 2 : Canadian non-fiction books|2007 non-fiction books |
