A HISTORY OF NARRATIVE FILM, 1889-1979
Cook, David A.
02869932 Soft Cover. 8 x 10. Reviewer: "Imagine having the gall to write a history of "Narrative Film" -- not just Hollywood production, but ALL film, from ALL OVER....Well Cook does, and does it better than anyone else. The most amazing thing about this book is that is reads so well: you can literally open it up anywhere, start reading, and start learning -- and be entertained at the same time. I just love reading this book. ..The second amazing thing is that Cook seems to have seen a lot of movies and taken the time to think carefully about them. As a result his comments, his sense of historical perspective, and his assertions are usually accurate, frequently insightful, and always enlightenling. If you're studying film in ANY context, this is the book to buy. If you prefer a video store with a foreign language section instead of your local Blockbuster, this is the catalog for you. Within days of reading this book I was making lists of films that I had to see (The Red And The White, and the Wadja trilogy among them), and running out to find them. ..For those in need of a text-book, this is the best value-for-money you can get. For thos FEARING a text-book, relax: it's actually a real page turner! " ..This is the first edition of what has become a classic in the film industry and has been designed to fill the needs of the Introductory Film Course. Written by a serious film scholar and teacher, this 721 page volume is unmatched in its comprehensiveness; the depth of its analyses of films, directors, and movements. Its clear expositions of film theory and technology'; its discussions of historical and cultural influences; its responsible scholarship and its more than 1,200 illustrations throughout make this book one that belongs on YOUR reference shelf. .There is so much more in this book including: 1,242 frame enlargements, production stills and diagrams that function as genuine teaching tools, amply illustrating important analytical points; every major advance in theory and technology is introduced and explained at the point in cinematic history where it becomes important; political, social, cultural, intellectual, and economic influences on the development of film art are fully treated! ..Condition of book is Very Good inside; the outside cover shows wear 'n tear (around the extremeties) and a crease on front cover. The pages themselves are all well-bound, intact with no tearing or damage New York, NY, U.S.A.: W. W. Norton & Company, Incorporated, 1981
