Dear Screen-L: 

 

Oxford University Press is pleased to announce the publication of the
Fourth Edition of James Monaco's How to Read a Film. Since its original
publication in 1977, this landmark book has become a trusted source on
film and media. In this special anniversary edition author James
Monaco-writer, publisher, and producer-continues to look at film from
many vantage points, and explores the still-evolving digital context of
film. Featuring new sections on The Virtual World, The Mediasphere,
Movies and Video in the Oughts, Digital Tipping Points, nearly five
hundred illustrative film stills, and more than sixty diagrams, How to
Read a Film, 4e is an indispensable addition to the library of everyone
who loves the cinema and wants to understand it better.

 

"Monaco's book was an instant classic when it first came out, and with
new sections in its anniversary edition, is more essential than ever. A
landmark in media studies, it is unique in its sophisticated
understanding of both the art and technology of film." -- Molly Haskell
