Beschreibung:
Jonathan Rosenbaum is film critic for the Chicago Reader and the author or editor of fourteen books, including Movie Wars: How Hollywood and the Media Limit What Films We Can See, Movies as Politics, and Placing Movies: The Practice of Film Criticism.
Jonathan Rosenbaum is arguably the most insightful and informed film critic working today. In Essential Cinema he gathers together twenty years of writing to explore the idea of--and the need for--a film canon. Though the idea may be unfashionable, particularly within the academy, Rosenbaum argues that a canon of great and near-great films is vital if we are to understand film as an art. Featuring a new afterword with an updated list of favorite films, this is an essential book for film students, film scholars, and film buffs.
