Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Appropriate for courses in Introduction to Film, Film and Drama, and Film and Literature, Understanding Movies is designed to help students analyze movies with precision and technical sophistication. It focuses on formalism—how the forms of the film (e.g., camera work, editing, photography, etc.) create meaning. The Eighth Edition retains the same principle of organization as its predecessors—structuring chapters around the realism-formalism dichotomy—while it updates each chapter to integrate more recent developments, films, and personalities in the field.
