Product Description
Product Description
Film is an art form with a language and an aesthetic all its own. Since 1979, David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson's Film Art has been the best-selling and widely respected introduction to the analysis of cinema.
Taking a skills-centered approach supported by a wide range of examples from various periods and countries, the authors strive to help students develop a core set of analytical skills that will deepen their understanding of any film, in any genre. Frame enlargements throughout the text enable students to view images taken directly from completed films, while an optional, text-specific tutorial CD-ROM helps clarify and reinforce specific concepts addressed in the text with the use of film clips. Building on these strengths, the ninth edition adds coverage of new technologies, updated examples, and references to the authors' acclaimed weblog to provide unparalleled currency and connect students with the world of cinema today.

why 97 bucks?,
This review is from: Film Art: An Introduction (Paperback)
so we pay 97 dollars for this book and when it comes, the small paperback frame of this massive 700 page textbook cannot sustain to be opened. The first time I opened the book, the glue that held the cover to the pages cracked and the book is now starting to fall appart. It was new when i got it, no scratches, no nothing but now i have a massive textbook thats is falling appart page by page. i have a year to go with that book/ maybe two depending on my classes. ( oh i dont know if my book is a mistake test book but one third of the last chapter is printed twice at the end of my book.)

NEVER RECEIVED!,
By
This review is from: Film Art: An Introduction (Paperback)
I never received this book and the seller didn't contact me wet. It's been almost a month now since I'm supposed to have received this book. I hope the seller or someone concerned could contact me to know what I can do. From now on,I don't want to purchase any books from other sellers because I didn't have a good service. There's only amazon and Green Point who actually gave me a refund for the other books I bought but didn't have. Bort-Books didn't contact me yet and I really hope they will because it's a lot of money for a student book and I can't even keep up on my readings because of that. I'd be happy if someone can help me out with that, because it is a very frustrating situation and I'm not happy at all with that ignorance!Please let me know ASAP! Thanks. Noémie Boisclair
