Film: A Very Short Introduction by Michael Wood
2.0
One of those books where you feel you have to go read up on any film which is mentioned if you don’t know it - which I hate doing and don’t plan on getting up from a comfortable seat to go over to my computer just to understand one reference and move into the next page.
Titled as an introduction to film, but it’s really not. As mentioned in another review, focused on lots of philosophical stuff rather than… an introduction to film? If this was an introduction to film philosophy it may have been better. An ok read but because I hadn’t seen a lot of the films mentioned and it was all philosophy of said unseen films, couldn’t really get into it.
