Rezensionen

Eric Smoodin, University of California at Davis
"With this elegant volume, Dudley Andrew brilliantly continues hisextended project of producing a historiography of film theory andof French cinema. He has given us a book worthy of AndréBazin's intelligence, originality, curiosity, andspirit."

Edward Branigan, University of California at SantaBarbara
"A new slant on Bazin with fresh disclosures for our era ofdigital media is always welcome, especially from Dudley Andrew,Bazin's foremost expositor. Andrew's graceful and analyticprose is peppered with timely provocations of his own, startingwith the Preface. Made manifest throughout is the continuingrelevance of Bazin's devotion to cinema and compassion forhumanity."
