 This is a great book! October 16, 2008
I am just writing this to 'adjust' the rating and earlier review written for this book, as I find it can be quite misleading.
This is indeed a great read on film analysis, full of interesting examples and insightful comments. The chapter on Film Language is very well articulated and has been used as reference text in many film seminars, not only by myself.
Describing a book that addresses constructing meaning in cinematic language as "too dense", like another reviewer has done, is missing the point altogether.
The product description is spot on.
If you like cinema, you will like this book!
If want to know more about "How to Read Films" this is an excellent book and you will like it!
 A useful guideline for those having to do critical analysis September 20, 2001

I would consider this book a good enough guideline on how to critically analise films. It is a bit dense at times, but it is a good quick-reference guide about what to look for when analysing a film.
