Trivia
Because of extreme budget limitations, the production of "BookWars" was financed from books sold at the filmmaker's sidewalk book stand - as more books were sold, more tape and film stock could be bought.

A treat for film (and book) lovers.

Its a few months since I saw it, so I can't comment on details, but I loved this film. I caught it by chance on a French cable channel, one rainy night! What a happy discovery! It captured me straight off. Charming, stirring, strangely gripping, moving, passionate, surprising, just plain interesting - so many things that films should be, but rarely are.

I'm so glad it was too wet to go and see the floodlit castle!

I thoroughly recommend it.
