The selection is very good, esp. in comparison with Braudy and Cohen (some overlap but some significant differences). Bob Stam's essays in particular are great on their own, as a positioning, and as introduction.

I'm reading parts of this and find it very interesting, especially the articles about race and colonialism. I have not thought of film this way, and am so glad I found this at the good ole library.
