BFI'as cinema book is about as good a book on cinema as you could get, written in an intelligent and unpatronizing way. The book covers seven main sections, Hollywood Cinema and Beyond, The Star System, Technologies, World Cinema's, Genre, Authorship and Cinema and Developments in the critical theory of cinema. It's very clearly structured, written by experts and scholars and has great colour and black and white images too. Excellent to dip into and amazing if you want to develop a critical depth and understanding of Cinema.
