A visual autobiography of sorts via Diane Keaton's idiosyncratic and personal collections and ruminative texts, 'Saved' offers an unprecedented glimpse into the mind of the legendary film star.
The book begins, perhaps fittingly, with an homage to movies - curiously, to old 'b' and 'c' grade horror flicks, such as 'the Deadly Mantis' and 'I married a Monster from Outer Space' - a passion that manifests in a collection of rare film stills from the fifities and the sixties showing large-brain, skull-less aliens with crab-like hands, giant praying mantises that hunt housewives, and terrified men with eyes growing from their shoulders. Continuing on, ... The book is an invitation to dive in.
