'The most refreshing aspect about this very readable book is its perspective. The author discusses a wide range of European and American films, including a number of contemporary titles, in the light of the major cultural and political forces which have shaped Western industrial society this century. Provocative, challenging. Recommended.' Media Information Australia
'... The discussion ranges widely.... There is a great deal of interesting material here. The book has many rewards and insights. ... The discussions of particular films... are the best things about this book. Often what is said is suggestive, inviting a re-reading or re-assessment of the works.' British Journal of Aesthetics
'... Engaging and intelligent analysis of post-war cinema... I have no compunction in recommending this work to students and scholars alike as a central text for any discussion of modernity and film.' Sociology
'... A fine polemical introduction to the nature of cinemagraphic experience as a mirror of culture.' The Reader's Review
