The Oxford History of World Cinema

“The Oxford History of World Cinema” is a must-have for cinephiles and scholars alike. It offers a comprehensive exploration of cinema’s evolution worldwide, covering key movements, genres, and filmmakers. The writing is engaging, and the book is beautifully illustrated with stills and posters. Whether you’re a casual moviegoer or a seasoned film buff, this book is an invaluable resource for understanding the rich history of cinema.

I bought this book for class. The kindle version is slightly difficult to navigate considering how it like a pdf version of the book but works too because you can cite the text as if you have the actual physical copy.

This title was one of three that I ordered for my in house film lover. He is gathering a collection of reference books, and is finding that there is a world of movie lovers out there, each with their own area of interest and expertise. Something new to learn , or to just browse for the enjoyment.

Regardless of the number of cinema books in your collection, without this one, it is not complete. Bought it as a gift for a filmmaker who does have a substantial cinema book collection and they loved it.

Nice piece to read if you are into world cinema. I enjoy movies from all over the world and this is a good piece to read

Good book, got everything I needed from ordering for my Film class.

I needed this book for my Film Literacies class and it served its purpose.

Nice
