With excellent essays, close textual analysis of films and further
reading lists from some of the leading lights in the area, the book
has proved an invaluable asset for those negotiating their way
through the minefield of ideas and conflicting theories that make
up the study of film...This weighty, yet still surprisingly
succinct tome also has an excellent sense of design allowing the
reader to dip in and out and pull out the relevant information as
they wish...obvious must for any student of film...excellent
resource.
