Description:
If cinema can be approached as poetry and philosophy, it is because of Jean Epstein. Cocteau, Bunuel (who was his assistant), Hitchcock, Pasolini and Godard, and theoreticians Kracauer, Deleuze and Ranciere are directly influenced by Epstein's pioneering film work, writings, and concepts. This book is the first in English to examine his oeuvre comprehensively.
An avant-garde artist and an anti-elitist intellectual, Epstein wanted to craft moments of pure transformative cinema. Using familiar genres - melodramas and documentaries - he hoped to heal viewers of all classes and hasten social utopia. A lover of cinema as cognitive and sensorial technology, and a poet of the screen, he pushed cinematography - as photogenie - towards the experimental sublime, through daring close-ups, rhythmic montage, slow motion, even reverse motion.
Polish-born, half-Jewish, and the author of a treatise on homosexuality, Epstein has been unfairly relegated to the shadows of film history. This book restores him to the limelight of interwar world cinema, on a par with Renoir, Lang, Capra and Eisenstein. -- .

Very Nice!
Color: Black, Number of Items: 1
This end table is very well made and uses good quality hardware throughout. It is assembled using cam lock nuts, wooden dowels, and Allen head bolts, which I personally prefer over standard wood screws. Cam locks stay tight over time and do not slowly work themselves loose like screws can on furniture that gets regular use, so that was a big plus for me right away.
The table arrives fully disassembled. For someone comfortable with furniture assembly, it took just over an hour to put together. The instructions are clear, well laid out, and easy to follow. I would rate the overall assembly difficulty around a 2 to 3 out of 5. Most of the process is straightforward and logical. There is only one frustrating step where you need to tighten eight bolts with an Allen wrench in a very tight space near the bottom tray. There is not enough clearance to fully rotate the wrench, so tightening those bolts takes a lot longer than it should. Other than that one section, the rest of the build went smoothly.
Once assembled, the table feels very solid and sturdy with no wobble. The finish held up well during assembly and I did not experience any scratching or chipping, which tells me it is fairly durable. The design is sturdy enough that it works well as an everyday end table without feeling delicate.
Functionally, the built in charging station works great. The power cord and outlets are convenient, and the charging base is very handy for phones and other devices. My only minor complaint is that I wish the power cord routed through the bottom of the stand instead of exiting straight out the back of the middle tray. It is not a deal breaker, but a bottom exit would make cable management a bit cleaner.
Storage space on the shelves is somewhat limited due to the design, but there is still enough room to be functional. It works well for books, small baskets, remotes, or decorative items. Just do not expect oversized storage.
Overall, this is a high quality, well designed piece with solid hardware and a clean look. If this style fits your space, I would absolutely recommend it. I am very happy with mine and would buy it again.

Beautiful end table that works well anywhere.
Color: Black, Number of Items: 1
The JUSTOGO end table immediately stands out thanks to its unique, modern design and practical features. Its rectangular shape makes it surprisingly versatile. You can position it to showcase the three open shelves for easy access and display, or use it as a narrower separation piece or traditional end table. That flexibility makes it adaptable to different rooms and layouts.
One of the most thoughtful design choices is the placement of the built-in USB ports and power outlets. Located on the middle shelf, they don’t crowd the tabletop and still remain easily accessible for charging devices. This keeps the top surface clean and fully usable while ensuring cords aren’t stretched too far.
The black finish is another plus. It’s neutral, clean-looking, and blends easily with a wide range of décor styles.
If there’s a downside, it’s the assembly process. The instructions could be clearer, and while the advertised setup time is 20 minutes, it realistically takes closer to 40. That said, assembly is a one-time task, and once it’s complete, you’re left with a sturdy, functional, and visually appealing piece of furniture. Overall, it’s a smart combination of style and utility.

Incredible value - solves our phone charging needs without bulky chargers attached to traditional extension cords… aesthetically superior with outlet cover and flat cord that we plan to conceal between tiles. A+
