A Short History of Film ReviewI was wonderfully surprised by A Short History Of Film - it is concise, and yet full of information : probably almost each important fact in the movie timeline is included. The book also not forgets the world outside Hollywood, as it also focuses on worldwide cinema.
As often with broad subjects; the question is which book, or books, to pick. Often reference books can be quite boring to read, since encyclopedic information does not lend itself to be interwoven in a story. This is not the case with A Short History Of Film. Written in sophisticated but clear language, every chapter it is always very interesting to read as a story in itself. The only other book I could compare it with, on a different scale, is the standard university reference Film Theory & Criticism. That book, Film Theory, might claim to go into more detail on diverse film subjects than any other book, but far too many articles (from experts in the history of film) are utterly academic (like Freudian theory that explains movies are mainly meant for male voyeurs etc. - catch my drift?) and far too often simply unreadable - and I am an academic myself! Although still THE reference, Film Theory seems to forget that learning, and acquiring knowledge and information, could, or should, also be just fun! So in my opinion, A Short History Of Film wins.I felt I had learnt a lot more about film in general than any other book I have read yet and I enjoyed it the most of all.A Short History of Film Overview
