Product Description

Review

""I know of no other introductory film text that covers so much ground, nor that so readily connects up film theory and discourse with work in mass and popular culture. The revised edition keeps up with changes in technology...the discussions of Hollywood are particularly illuminating...I highly recommend An Introduction to Film Studies.

Product Description

One of the leading textbooks for students of cinema, this revised and updated third edition guides students through the key issues and concepts in film studies and introduces some of the world's key national cinemas.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Better Deal for Students, 2 Dec 2000

bobcasse1938@hotmail.com (Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: An Introduction to Film Studies (Paperback)

Whether you are a seasoned pro, or just starting out with your analysis of film. An Introduction to Film Studies, gives you a comprehensive guide to areas like Film Noir, Gay Cinema and Horror to name but a few.

The texts from Searle Kochberg, Allan Rowe and Paul Wells to name but a few allow insight into film from different perspectives.

With language easy to follow and a layout easy to the eye it is easy to find areas like Women and film to directors like Alfred Hitchcock.

A recommended buy and well worth it's money.

5.0 out of 5 stars An impressive and important text for film students, 12 Jun 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: An Introduction to Film Studies (Paperback)

This is a truly impressive text: great contextualisation, crisp and relevant facts well presented and - particularly early in the text - true enthusiasm for the subject: it makes you want to rush out and grab the camera ! The new edition is due apparently and we will use it again for the third year. A valuable & clever practical text.
