Film is an art form with a language and an aesthetic all its own. Since 1979, David Bordwell's and Kristin Thompson's "Film Art" has been the best-selling and widely respected introduction to the analysis of cinema. The eighth edition has been revised to be more classroom friendly by introducing film techniques earlier, followed by chapters on Film Genres. It includes a tutorial CD-ROM with video clips.
