An impressive and important text for film students This is a truly impressive text: great contextualisation, crisp and relevant facts well presented and - particularly early in the text - true enthusiasm for the subject: it makes you want to rush out and grab the camera ! The new edition is due apparently and we will use it again for the third year. A valuable & clever practical text.
GOOD BUT COULD BE BETTER I bought this book for a dissertation on the western film genre. The chapters in the book are good and clearly laid out, but can leave you more confused than you were at the start. However, it is good value for money and very up to date. An important book for film studies students but probably not for those of us doing media
