Reviews / Votes
'Cinema Today is informative, comprehensive and up to date, and provides a unique resource for academics, students and anyone with an interest in the moving image and the film industry...an invaluable reference tool.' (Cinema Technology)'This epic survey of post-1970 cinema is possibly the most addictive film book ever published. Wherever you open it, your eye is struck by an iconic or striking image...Linked by a judicious text the book's 500 pages are equally divided between films you know and films you'd like to know.' (Independent)
