## Description

The Film Book: A Complete Guide to the World of Cinema : Bergan, Ronald: desertcart.co.uk: Stationery & Office Supplies

Review: Very comprehensive. - My Grandson is doing a film and media course at college and has found this to be not only interesting but full of invaluable insight. He loves it.
Review: Fantastic - A brilliant book. Rather just a history of cinema, rather than a Top 100 films to see before you die. This book breaks cinema down in to different insightful chapters that approach cinema from different lenses. The historical history. The catagories of roles in cinema. The genres of cinema. The different countries making films. The directors. As well as notable films. Each section has a list of seven or eight key films to watch so you're endlessly getting notes that you can explore further. With tools like Youtube it's perfect for a quick search for a trailer or clips before delving back in. It is also suitable for children - there are no inappropriate films mentioned, but there is the occassional uses of the word sex.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A quality and thorough guide to cinema.
*by M***. on 11 January 2024*

I was really looking for a sort of "Halliwells" guide but this gives a more esoteric history of cinema rather than just a list. A great read (would still like a comprehensive list though).
