Film History: An Introduction by
David Bordwell
Great Read
Written by two of the leading scholars in film studies, Film History: An
Introduction is a comprehensive, global survey of the medium that covers
the development of every genre in film, from drama and comedy to
documentary and experimental. As with the authors bestselling Film Art:
An Introduction (now in its eighth edition), concepts and events are
illustrated with frame enlargements taken from the original sources, giving
students more realistic points of reference than competing books that rely
on publicity stills.
The third edition of Film History is thoroughly updated and includes
the first comprehensive overviews of the impact of globalization and digital
technology on the cinema. Any serious film scholar--professor,

undergraduate, or graduate student--will want to read and keep Film
History.

Personal Review: Film History: An Introduction by David
Bordwell
If you are interested in film history on the whole, please, give yourself a
treat by purchasing this book. It is not cheap but it is worth every penny. I
had it after a course in film history and despite being someone who usually
sell or dump away my texts after graduation, I find it very hard to give this
one away. Boy, am I glad I did not. As one's scope and experience in
world cinema grows, so too does one's interest in this book. Bordwell and
Thomas's style is academic but always enthusiastic, and theirs is the most
comprehensive account of world cinema in English (pre-war Japanese
cinema, anyone?). I have not found another general film book on world
cinema history to match, and I will certainly be purchasing its third edition
(what I have is the first) if that ever comes by.
