Academic, illustrative and informative
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
Never before have I come across a body of text that has provided not only the tools for academic success within the subject, but inspiration for taking my own work to new levels through the intensive research Bordwell & Thompson have gone through. In my own studies 'Film Art' has been an inspiration and the summarisation of other works within it has meant less time needed on reading and more can be concentrated on putting pen to paper. A rare theoretical must-have.

Do I not like this book
 Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1
...This book, however, does have several good points:

1. It is a competant tool for references and dip-ins

2. It has a spell binding reputation

3. It is written by Thompson and Bordwell

However, since only one of those three good points is directly linked to the ingredience of the book it becomes obvious that reputation preceeds content.

Dull, patronising and only occassionally worthy of underlining, this book is a thorn in the side of film studies.

But that is only my opinion.


not much better out there
 Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4
what can i saw if u r a budding film student this book is simply a must

no exceptions u simply must buy this book

one criticism though well two actually , firstly a touch expensive and secondly it aint got quite enough of the old colour pics

other than that though top stuff


How to get a Degree by not working.
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
Way back when I went to University in dear old Blighty. My degree was Film,Tv and Radio Studies, and despite my total lack of application, or to be frank attendance, I graduated with honours and a unhealthy infatuation with Wine, Women and Song. There are two reasons why I graduated, 1 I have the ability to retain information, 2 Film Art by Boardwell and Thompson. Quite frankly the best text book in the history of further education. It is simple enough for the most inexperienced of students, but also it's depth and coverage is enough to give a basic foundation in the most complex of film theory. God bless you Boardwell & Thompsen, and if anyone out there wants both a degree and liver problems as a result of University, BUY THIS BOOK

This book covers the basics with a lot of pictures
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
I found this book to be a an interesting and
informative look at the history of films.
Well, to be honest, it has lots of pictures
and makes good use of them. If you love film,
you'll love this book.
