In this thoughtful introduction, Nichols provides a context for the paradoxes that confront film studies today. He shows how shared methods and approaches continue to stimulate much of the best writing about film, points to common problems most critics and theorists have tried to resolve, and describes the internal contradictions that have restricted the usefulness of post-structuralism.
Looking at film from many vantage points, Monaco discusses the elements necessary to understand how a film conveys its meaning, and more importantly, how the audience can best discern all that a film is attempting to communicate. "An astute and thoroughgoing analysis".--"Publishers Weekly". 425 illustrations.
