The Story of Film: An Odyssey is an updated edition of Mark Cousins' fascinating 15-hour film documentary, which explores the history of cinema. The book is divided into three main epochs: Silent (1885–1928), Sound (1928–1990), and Digital (1990–Present). Each epoch is discussed within chapters reflecting the stylistic concerns of the film-makers and the political and social themes of the time. The book includes new text that encompasses the further-reaching scope of world cinema today and the huge leaps in technology that have changed cinema screens forever. Film is an international medium, and The Story of Film explores cinema in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia, and South America, showing how cinematic ideas and techniques cross national boundaries. The author avoids jargon and obscure critical theory and constantly places himself in the role of the moviegoer watching a film, asking how a scene or story affects us and why. The book is essential, with over 400 stills and numerous sequences explaining how scenes work.
