A Cultural Study of the Art Film - Vol 1

This two-volume work approaches the films as works of art with notations of prevailing critical response.

Each major film coverage begins with a "data block" giving dates, personnel and so forth, so that the textual material can move directly to substantive aspects.

Material is presented not only as a text resource of information, but a correlation of film with other media as a time frame from association that might suggest cross-influence.

Comparisons of directors' styles and films of a certain examination round out the coverage of each area.

These volumes can function as a text for an introductory and in-depth course in the art film.
