Richard Gilman referred to How to Read a Film as simply the best single work of its kind." & Janet Maslin in The New York Times Book Review marveled at James Monacos ability to collect "an enormous amount of useful information & assemble it in an exhilaratingly simple & systematic way." Indeed since its original publication in 1977 this hugely popular book has become the definitive source on film & media. Now James Monaco offers a special anniversary edition of his classic work featuring a new preface & several new sections including an " Essential Library: One Hundred Books About Film & Media You Should Read" & " One Hundred Films You Should See." As in previous editions Monaco once again looks at film from many vantage points as both art & craft sensibility & science tradition & technology. After examining films close relation to other narrative media such as the novel painting photography television & even music the book discusses the elements necessary to understand how films convey meaning & more importantly how we can best discern all that a film is attempting to communicate. In addition Monaco stresses the ever-evolving digital context of film throughout--one of the new sections looks at the untrustworthy nature of digital images & sound--and his chapter on multimedia brings media criticism into the twenty-first century with a thorough discussion of topics like virtual reality cyberspace & the proximity of both to film. With hundreds of illustrative black-&-white film stills & diagrams How to Read a Film is an indispensable addition to the library of everyone who loves the cinema & wants to understand it better." ...
