  • Not for the Faint of Heart

    I am taking Introduction to the History of Film and this book was one of two recommended. Though it is extremely thorough, "World Cinema" is not an easy read. It describes more of the international film development than it does the American cinema history. For those who have zero to very limited knowledge of film history (i.e. Lumiere Brothers' Cinematographe, the studio era, Production Code, etc.), film terms (i.e. montage, mise-en-scene, etc.), and film styles(i.e. film noir, film d'art, German Expressionism, French New Wave, etc.) this will be a difficult read. Otherwise it is an interesting "encyclopedia of film history" that leaves nothing out.
