Summary:
This book contains, for the first time in English in one volume, much if not all of Bazin's writings on American cinema. It also features a sizable scholarly apparatus, including a contextual introduction to Bazin's life and work, a complete bibliography of Bazin's writings on American cinema, and credits of the films discussed. This volume thus represents a major contribution to the still growing academic discipline of cinema studies, as well as a testament to the continuing influence of one of the world's pre-eminent critical thinkers.
