    Astonishingly prolix, overly systematic, insipid prose; sadism in the guise of academia
  

*by M***M on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2020*

Though the authors are highly knowledgeable and this textbook is (somehow) esteemed, there is no value in this text, not for introductory students, nor grad students, nor film lovers, nor filmmakers.  Every last thing in this book has been better-expressed elsewhere, in a fifth as many words- a fifth.  Imposing this textbook on students is, without exaggeration, educational malpractice or an act of sadism.  This is a case study on the difference between encyclopedic knowledge of a subject, on the one hand- and writing ability, teaching ability, and wisdom on the other.  Many, many sentences in this book exist for no damn reason.

Great text

    Really good read considering it's a textbook
  

*by L***I on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2007*

This was assigned in my film history class; but I plan to read the whole thing again later, because it is not only informative but it's also a very good read.  It's well organized and puts together a cohesive look at how films go together.  I don't give it full marks because it does have the usual murky areas and overly textbook-ish spots.  It's also way overpriced for something that isn't available new and yet is not a 'vintage' book.
