Reviews

To say that Alan Singerman's book fills a void in the market is the understatement of the year; it is the single most valuable contribution to the field in years and is destined to have a profound impact on the way film is taught in the college classroom [...] Singerman's book is a highly sophisticated educational tool that caters to advanced-level undergraduate and graduate students. - NECTFL Review, Tom Conner, Professor of Modern Foreign Languages, St. Norbert College
