Review: I bought this for my son who is doing a master's in film production. He found it to be hugely informative and was delighted with it.

Rating: 4

Review: As a keen student of film and film history this for me is one of the premier books on the subject. It is not too dry and academic as some specialist books become, and it is obvious that the author is a passionate lover of film and cinema from around the world. I learned a great deal from this book and the accompanioning tv series and it gave me a much greater appreciation for world cinema. If you love film as a medium then this book is a great way to delve further into the subject and it will definately extend your wishlist of movies to buy!
