Film Art presented a struggle for me. While the textbook has great organization and breaks up the concepts into thoughtful sections, I have personally not viewed many of the films that the authors focus on in their analysis portion of the text. As a result, the analysis was often difficult to fully understand due to lack of familiarity with the reference. I imagine if the reader had seen the films included in the textbook, the experience of reading it would be much more beneficial. For others like me, the authors include many stills to emphasize their point which was invaluable. Overall, the language is accessible and provides a reasonable introduction to thinking more deeply about film study.

useful for learning basic terminology and technical concepts -- not theoretically rigorous or challenging at all. i could imagine being bored with this if i had to use it in a class but it was an educational read during slow periods at work
