Samenvatting
What Cinema Is! offers an engaging answer to Andre Bazin′s famous question, exploring his ′idea of cinema′ with a sweeping look back at the near century of Cinema′s phenomenal ascendancy.
Written by one of the foremost film scholars of our time
Establishes cinema′s distinction from the current enthusiasm over audio–visual entertainment, without relegating cinema to a single, older mode
Examines cinema′s institutions and its social force through the qualities of key films
Traces the history of an idea that has made cinema supremely alive to (and in) our times
