4.0 out of 5 stars Pretentious but thought provoking, 5 May 2005

By A Customer

Another of the generally excellent BFI screen guides, covering the much undervalued world of Film Sound. Brophy has collected an astonishingly wide range of examples from the whole spectrum of film, from World Cinema, Hollywood, Avant-Garde, Animation, Blockbuster even Soft Porn! It's an extremely academic book (see the comparison between Looney Toons cartoons and "aural pornography") but if you can keep up it's extremely illuminating. Having said that it's a shame so many of the films are unavailable to view on Video/DVD. Brophy could do with toning down his style a little, to make the undeniably excellent insights more accessible

2.0 out of 5 stars too stuffy, 21 Jul 2009

By	D. Neill (Belfast, Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the third in the series that i have bought (after 100 european horrors and 100 american independent films). Unfortunately whereas those two are extremely readable and useful, this 100 soundtracks book doesn't live up to them. There a two main problems:
first the style, as mentioned in the other review is much too stuffy and needlessly academic in tone. It seems the author is showing off his knowledge rather than writing a good guide on the subject.
secondly, whereas the other two books refer to certain 'genres' and as such are much more cohesive, the soundtrack book has such a disparate choice of films that its easy to lose interest as it jumps from film to film with little to connect them.

Its interesting enough, and the majority of the films make for good discussion/insight into their sound design, but the other books are far better.
