Product Description

Time Out
"a richly rewarding, impressively wide-ranging trawl through the medium's first 100 years"

Review
a richly rewarding, impressively wide-ranging trawl through the medium's first 100 years (Time Out )

an essential guide for all serious cinema enthusiasts (Flicks )

If any new book deserves the gloss of informed and sacred text, it is The Oxford History of World Cinema ... a sound and thorough job in creating something that at least tries to be genuinely definitive. (Independent )

a model of clear editorial organization in which the essays of more than 80 contributors are marshalled into an illuminating mosaic. (The Economist )

a must have for all film buffs. given the vast range of subject matter, it tries to cover it with sincerity and honesty. yes, there may be a few ommissions, but few and far between.
