About this title

Synopsis

Fifty essays on fifty films―by a who’s-who of film studies.

Film Analysis offers concise analyses of fifty diverse and historically significant films―each written exclusively for the text by a leading scholar. Written with the undergraduate in mind, the essays are clear, readable, and great models for students to follow in helping them to hone their own writing. The Second Edition includes six new essays, a new, detailed guide to writing film analysis, and an extensive, up-to-date glossary of critical film terms.
