5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly comprehensive, 28 Mar 2003
By J. Adamson "ancient geek" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Film Theory and Criticism: Introductory Readings (Paperback)
This book sets out to anthologise a number of seminal essays reflective of key developments in film theory and criticism over the last century. Covered are key issues in film construction and aesthetics, the relationship of film to reality, technological and philosophical debates on the (re)production of image and sound, narrative techniques and development, genre, auteurism, feminist film theory, issues of spectatorship and the relationship of film studies to other disciplines such as psychology and philosophy.
This is squarely aimed at an academic market and as such functions wonderfully as an undergraduate level textbook. However, due to the scope of subjects covered and the range of writers included, I find it hard to believe that this could not be just as appealing to a casual reader, provided they are familiar with the terminology used so frequently within the humanities.
Despite its price, it has already more than paid for itself. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars All you need to know about the Film Theory and a bit more.., 11 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Film Theory and Criticism: Introductory Readings (Paperback)
All you need to know about Film Theory and something of its History. As more of an academic text designed in particular for those studying film criticism, some people may be a little put off. However, I would recommend this to anyone interested in 20th century History, Philosophy, Politics or tendencies in film and Film and Art, illustrated by classic films such as the Cabinet of Dr Caligari - this has made me realise just how important and interesting a medium Film can be for those interested (like myself) in philosophy and political theory, as well as taking you to some classic films.
