Summary: Should Be Standard-Issue For Production Designers!
Comment: With a degree in architecture and a decade in the film industry I was delighted to wander across a book that brought both disciplines together in a language that students of both crafts might understand. The collection of essays provide access to the design decisions that faced the Production Designers of films from the dawn of "designed" cinema in the 1920's to the doorstep of filmmaking in the 1990's.

If you find this book "too wordy" then chances are that this isn't the book for you as it is studied, researched and filled with images that most film fans have never before seen. It is a glimpse into the thought processes and schedule demands that shape the final look of a film.

This book should be highly sought by fans of design and film alike.

Summary: An interesting book on an ignored aspect of filmmaking
Comment: If you are fascinated by film or archetecture, you ought to find this book of interest. Many great pictures, interesting anecdotes and perspectives beyond the "typical" film analysis.

Rating: 4
Summary: Visions of the (near?) future from past & present films
Comment: Interesting, if a bit wordy, book explaining some of the thought processes that went into designing films of the near-future / alternate reality variety. This book would have much better had more illustrations/photographs been included.
