"If you want to ddeepen your appreciation of movies, go beyond being a passive viewer, and have the backstory of how movies come about, this book and Kawin's Short History of the Movies are the place to go."
"So I selected this book based on faculty input on an introduction to film studies course. While I think that is has very simple and clear examples, language, and the reading lengths were just right I find the distinctions Kawin makes in terms of techniques don't jibe with other film-studies scholars. This was particularly the case with distinguishing between constructive editing and dialectical editing. I am more inclined to use Film Art for my next course."
