Editorial Reviews

Review

“What is most striking is the structure of the text. [Its] relationship to other media is also a welcome addition to this study. THINKING ABOUT MOVIES is an effective text for an introductory film course at the college level. It offers many good insights, and is filled with interesting essays on a variety of cinematic genres.” (RogueCinema.com, December 2008)

"Film instructors will welcome the third edition of Lehman andLuhr's textbook: consistently jargon-free, readable, accessible andclear-headed in a way that will engage undergraduates' interest andexcitement."
–Dr. Robert Eberwein, Oakland University
