If you love your films, you will love this. Really informative book and very nicely presented. Love it!
by Mr. J. ANDERSON
A brilliant book. Rather just a history of cinema, rather than a Top 100 films to see before you die. This book breaks cinema down in to different insightful chapters that approach cinema from different lenses. The historical history. The catagories of roles in cinema. The genres of cinema. The different countries making films. The directors. As well as notable films. Each section has a list of seven or eight key films to watch so you’re endlessly getting notes that you can explore further. With tools like Youtube it’s perfect for a quick search for a trailer or clips before delving back in. It is also suitable for children – there are no inappropriate films mentioned, but there is the occassional uses of the word sex.

Sadly the front of this book has a mark across it – interesting book all the same – a part refund would compensate for this rather than a return being necessary
