Divided into three main epochs--Silent (1885-1928), Sound (1928-1990), and Digital (1990-Present)--the movies are discussed within chapters reflecting both the stylistic concerns of the moviemakers and the political and social themes of the time. This edition includes new text that encompasses the further-reaching scope of world cinema today, and the huge leaps in technology that have changed cinema screens forever. Clearly written, and illustrated with over 400 stills, including numerous sequences explaining how scenes work, <i>The Story of Film</i> is essential reading for both film students and the general moviegoer. <p/><i>The Story of Film</i> is no mere reference volume or coffee-table book, although it could function perfectly respectably as both. Rather, it's a romantic, fiercely intelligent re-mapping of cinema that also celebrates it as a mysterious synthesis of inspiration and craft.<br>--<i>The Daily Telegraph</i> <p/>Mark Cousins is incapable of writing anything about cinema history without making it fascinating.<br><i>--</i>Sean Connery<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Mark Cousins</b> is an author, movie critic, producer, and documentary moviemaker who made a fascinating 15-hour documentary based on this book: <i>The Story of Film: An Odyssey</i>.
