5.0 out of 5 stars A superb overview of the subject, 26 Sep 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Film Theory: An Introduction (Images of culture) (Paperback)

A priceless book; small enough to fit in your pocket but containing all you need to ace a degree course. "Film theory" covers a wide range of difficult issues, but remains clear and directed throughout (the section on Lacan is the best introduction to his work that I have read). It also contains valuable sections on authorship, narrative and politics. Useful both as preliminary guide to film theory and as a summary revision text, I would advise any student to place this little gem at the heart of their studies.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a beginners introduction, 31 Oct 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Film Theory: An Introduction (Images of culture) (Paperback)

As a University level student I picked this up to introduce me to the subject of film theory. This, however is not an intro for the beginner at all. Its language is difficult to assimilate if you have no previous experience of the subject, and you may need a dictionary and thesaurus on hand to help you through it. I suspect that this book would be much better for someone who was more advanced in the subject and its concepts than the title suggests.
