User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐A vacuous, lazy attempt at a history of world cinema. It reads like a gossip mag, skimming quickly through a hand-selected who’s who of directors, paying more attention to their politics and immutable characteristics than their contributions to film. Instead of tracking the evolution of cinema as an art form, it seems obsessed with casting film as a representation of contemporary zeitgeist, caring more about the sociopolitical trend de jure than the techniques and styles that were evolving. A waste of paper. Any instructor who assigns you this book is either not qualified or phoning it in: find someone better.

⭐Great film history book, reading it for class, but if it wasn’t for that i’d still very much enjoy it. So interesting full of great facts. overall great read. got here sooner than expected which was great. I couldn’t find it anywhere, and got it for a great price too!Thanks!

⭐This is a solid introduction to film, covering literally thousands of directors from around the world, as well as all the major film movements from the silent era, though the talkies, and into the digital era. Hundreds of stills, easy to read text, a clear timeline from the early 1900s to the present. Particularly good on women directors, as well as African-American filmmakers. Highly recommended.

⭐This book is amazing for an Overall History of Film and definitely great to see what kind of films were great in their times and the effects of history that had on the movies. Their are many films in this book and i suggest watching them all to get inspired to create your own movies because the movie industry portrayed in this book is much better than the industry we have now

⭐OK

⭐excellent

⭐very good.

⭐Arrived as described and in record time. I would do business with this seller again. And I’m learning all about cinema now which is great since I have three exams to study for.

⭐This item is extremely useful for students studying film history and production for exam purposes. Recommended for first year college students as a basic tool.

⭐Good book, great price and fast shipping!A+
