"One of the classics of classical film theory, Film as Art outlines Arnheim's rather specific but interesting view on how film mediates reality and how film should use its medium specific limitations to create art. His distinctions between what is just film and what is film art are quite interesting, though I don't agree with the limitations he imposes on sound and color."
"Indispensable reading, though Arnheim doesn't really make the case for film as an art. Rather he assumes it is an art and spends most of his time in the area of medium specificity. He doesn't define art and doesn't adequately refute the claim that film cannot be art because it does nothing but reproduce reality mechanically. Despite these failings, Arnheim is spot on on most every idea relating to medium specificity."
