This film analysis textbook contains sixteen essays on historically
significant, artistically superior films released between 1922 and
1982. Written for college, high school, and university students,
the essays cover central issues raised in todays cinema courses and
provide students with practical models to help them improve their
own writing and analytical skills. This film casebook is
geographically diverse, with eight countries represented: Italy,
France, the United States, Russia, Germany, Great Britain, Japan,
and India. The essays, sophisticated yet not overly technical or
jargon-heavy, are perfect introductions to their respective films
as well as important contributions to the field of film studies in
general. The books critical apparatus features credits, images, and
bibliographies for all films discussed, filmographies for the
directors, a glossary of film terms, the elements of film analysis,
a chronology of film theory and criticism, topics for writing and
discussion, a bibliography of film criticism, and a comprehensive
index. Understanding Film: A Viewers Guide bucks the trend of
current film analysis texts (few of which contain actual film
analyses) by promoting analysis of the chosen films alongside the
methods and techniques of film analysis. It has been prepared as a
primary text for courses in film analysis, and a supplementary text
for courses such as Introduction to Film or Film Appreciation;
History of Film or Survey of Cinema; and Film Directors or Film
Style and Imagination.
