Reviews

[Derek Baldwin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very solid review of a variety of topics and a frequent source of reference.

[Carolyne Borel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good reference book, but too much emphasis is put on the Freudian interpretations of film analysis.

[Bryn]

Not as good as some other film books I have read.
