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
alyce6d980's review against another edition
4.0
Despite the width of this volume, I devoured it in two sittings. There were some sections that I could skip, so this isn't a review of the ENTIRE book... But if you are studying - or have an interest in - film, this is a great crash course in exactly how it works. Featuring in-depth media terminology, more screencaps than you can count and a brief recap of the history of well, Bordwell and Thomson excel themselves.
