"The book is very informative and covers a lot but is a bit repetitive. I would have preferred a more chronological structure instead of jumps back and forth in time to focus on one "group" of filmmakers at a time.
I recommend the book to anyone interested in international film history, but be prepared to read it for quite some time. It took me a month of reading 1-3 hours a day to get through the 722 pages."
"I wish I had kept this great general survey of the art of (mostly) western film. There is a generous section on international cinema. This may have changed; I'm referring to an older edition. Lots of plates and pictures for visual reference."
"I had to get this book for a film history class and loved it so much that I couldn't bear to part with it at the end of the semester. I've been done with that class for over a year and I still look up things in this book all the time."
"Well written book on the subject. Easy to read and goes through all the interesting details - from director, movements, periods and to productions styles, methods and production companies. All in all, a great introduction a basic knowledge of film history. Interesting reading if your a film buff or studying the subject."
