The Language and Style of Film Criticism
brings together original essays from an international range of academics and film critics highlighting the achievements, complexities and potential of film criticism.
In recent years, in contrast to the theoretical, historical and cultural study of film, film criticism has been relatively marginalised, especially within the academy. This book highlights the distinctiveness of film criticism and addresses ways in which it can take a more central place within the academy and develop in dynamic ways outside it.
is essential reading for academics, teachers, students and journalists who wish to understand and appreciate the language and style of film criticism.
