Description

This book presents the entire span of the film medium, from its first beginnings to the present, in a global perspective. By taking a chronological approach, yet incorporating such themes as aesthetics, technology, craft and social impact, Robert Sklar provides a complete analysis of the major films, directors and national cinemas, as well as a grounding in the social, economic and political foundations crucial to an understanding of film as both art and industry.
