Summary: A Bit Scholarly for My Taste, but Intriguing Nonetheless
Comment: This collection of essays is a good introduction to the study of film as it pertains to society. The major claim, which every essay alludes to in some way, is that film was in many respects the inevitable outgrowth of modern life--its urban-ness, its speed, its repetition, its mass-production, its visual nature, etc. I found this work quite effective in the classroon, and personally, but I can't recommend it to anyone who wishes to avoid a scholarly-researched/written text.
