Review Quotes
Scott Wilson | Media International Australia
“Intellect is very quickly establishing itself in the first-book-to-reach-for market with its Directory of World Cinema series. . . . A particular strength of these volumes is the manner with which historical teleology is disrupted in favor of a more cohesive thematic exploration. This volume also includes pieces on John Waters, David Lynch, Charlie Kaufman, and Stuart Gordon, as well as appendixes providing recommended reading, online sources, and a “Test Your Knowledge” quiz. . . . [This is] a very handy volume that is great as a starting point or for those new to particular aspects of a national cinema.”
