Reviews
Review from previous edition 'Rich, thought-provoking, and diverse' * Mark Cousins, creator of The Story of Film: An Odyssey *
'This important work [is] affordable to film students, to whom I would strongly recommend it. It also has benefits for more advanced scholars who may want to quickly check less familiar terms and concepts when writing articles or preparing class materials' * Sylvie Magerstadt, Film and History *
'Impressive for range and readability ... An unusually absorbing reference work for students and film buffs alike' * The Independent *
'I could find little to fault in this work... [it] will ... enhance understanding for anyone interested in film and film criticism' * Bob Duckett, Reference Reviews *
