Opis

Ranging from pre-1930s Europe to contemporary "Bollywood" musicals, this extensive guide to international film covers areas as diverse as New German, Australian, Indian, and South American cinema. A team of international contributors explains the key arguments and debates involved in the study of world cinema and also provides an overview of the avant-garde, the documentary, and recent technological developments. Featuring illustrations throughout, further reading recommendations, and chapter summaries, World Cinema: Critical Approaches serves as an exceptional text for courses in film and media studies.

Recenzje

'..these volumes promise something more directed...the prime determinant behind World Cinema's coverage seems to be anything that isn't American (and in 200-odd pages this is a pretty tall order).' Sight and Sound August 2000 (Page 32 Film criticism)
