A review by strrygo
What is Cinema?: Volume I by André Bazin

informative

3.0

rly enjoyed 2 of the essays (chaplin was esp fun! the stand out of the book), was slightly interested in some of the stuff the others had to say just bc i'd been introduced to the ideas before in a more engaging context (class discussions) but i think not having seen a lot of the films/directors used as the basis of the analyses made this a real doozy for me. got so excited when i did though!!!! also realizing i'm not a nonfiction girl...or could b i'm approaching it wrong..but could also b me just loving a narrative and a more cohesive thread in my essay collections..... 
wouldntve finished or given it the effort i did to get through it if it didn't come to me as a recommendation from someone rlly excited abt it :,)
