Film: A Very Short Introduction by Michael Wood

3.0

Learned a lot from this book. I think it does stimulate a lot of interest in film and the different ways of thinking about film. I found the "Around the World in 80 Films" in the back a fascinating touch that I will surely follow up on.

I do think the organization and presentation is a bit scattered. I felt the author's thesis disappeared and reemerged at weird spots. It didn't feel like a thread that wove the the work together.

I enjoyed this book. It was a nice 115 page break from a lot of the theological tomes I have to read for school.
