Review from previous edition 'Rich, thought-provoking, and
diverse'
*Mark Cousins, creator of The Story of Film: An Odyssey*
'This important work [is] affordable to film students, to whom I
would strongly recommend it. It also has benefits for more advanced
scholars who may want to quickly check less familiar terms and
concepts when writing articles or preparing class materials'
*Sylvie Magerstädt, Film and History*
'Impressive for range and readability ... An unusually absorbing
reference work for students and film buffs alike'
*The Independent*
'I could find little to fault in this work... [it] will ... enhance
understanding for anyone interested in film and film criticism'
*Bob Duckett, Reference Reviews*
