Synopsis
Richard Gilman referred to How to Read a Film as simply "the best single work of its kind." And Janet Maslin in The New York Times Book Review marveled at James Monaco's ability to collect "an enormous amount of useful information and assemble it in an exhilaratingly simple and systematic way." Indeed, since its original publication in 1977, this hugely popular book has become the definitive source on film and media.Now, JamesMonaco offers a special anniversary edition of his classic work, featuring a new preface and several new sections, including an "Essential Library: One Hundred Books About Film and Media You Should Read" and "OneHundred Films You Should See." As in previous editions, Monaco once again looks at film from many vantage points, as both art and craft, sensibility and science, tradition and technology. After examining film's close relation to other narrative media such as the novel, painting, photography, television, and even music, the book discusses the elements necessary to understand how films convey meaning, and, more importantly, how we can best discern all that a film is attempting to communicate. Inaddition, Monaco stresses the still-evolving digital context of film throughout--one of the new sections looks at the untrustworthy nature of digital images and sound--and his chapter on multimediabrings media criticism into the twenty-first century with a thorough discussion of topics like virtual reality, cyberspace, and the proximity of both to film. With hundreds of illustrative black-and-white film stills and diagrams, How to Read a Film is an indispensable addition to the library of everyone who loves the cinema and wants to understand it better., Monaco offers a special anniversary edition of his classic work, featuring a new preface and several new sections, including an "Essential Library: One Hundred Books About Film and Media You Should Read" and "One Hundred Films You Should See."

In addition, Monaco stresses the still-evolving digital context of film throughout and his chapter on multimedia brings media criticism into the twenty-first century., A new edition of a genuine classic in film studies, featuring a new preface and several new sections. 'Against Art' suggests restoring the balance between the virtual world of art and the real world. 'Morphing' discusses the untrustworthy nature of digital images and sounds. 'The Virtual World' describes contemporary culture where everyone is connected to each other's images, and how the ring-tone market rivals the feature film business., Richard Gilman referred to How to Read a Film as simply "the best single work of its kind."

    BEST OF EBAY. It's easy to be happy when everything goes perfectly. But that's not always reality, and the true measure of a great seller - especially on ebay - is when things go wrong. The item shipped fairly promptly, however it got lost in the USPS network in it's transit with no updates of location for some time. I made inquiry with this seller who was humble, gracious, and communicative. The item suddenly appeared and is as-advertised. But the attitude of seller was 110%. Highly Recommend.

    Quality: excellent Appearance: Excellent Condition: Excellent Value: Excellent Overall, the seller was excellent on everything from the listing to communication with me! I will definitely be buying from them again. You don't see a lot of sellers like this one here. I have delt with some that has ghosted me before or scammed me before. But this seller, trusted, please do business with them. We both live in the south and we go with hospitality and being nice. I will follow their ebaystore
