An Introduction to Film Analysis
Technique and Meaning in Narrative Film
Michael Ryan and Melissa Lenos
• A major new introductory textbook
focusing on what films mean, and on
learning how to interpret them
• There is no other textbook on the
market that takes quite this approach to
the study of film: there is a real gap for
this book
• Also useful for students taking
introductory film courses within other
departments and disciplines (Literature, History, etc)
An Introduction to Film Analysis combines an introduction to
filmmaking technique with rigorous and comprehensive training
in film interpretation. Composed in an accessible style yet
conversant with the latest, most advanced critical theories and
methods, this innovative textbook can be reliably used on both
the undergraduate and the graduate level.

Anthology Film and World Cinema
Shekhar Deshpande
• This is the first book length study of the
anthology film form
• Provides a pedagogical model on
approaching classical concepts in film
studies

ventures or films
Fills a significant gap in the field by
including anthology films firmly within the current developments
in film theory and analysing their specific achievements.

The Blue Box
Kristevan/Lacanian Readings of Contemporary Cinema
Frances Restuccia
• Offers models of how contemporary film
may be analysed psychoanalytically
• Explains the crucial importance of such
an intimate psychoanalytic encounter,
between spectator and film
Looks at films that map the spectator’s
private fantasy onto the one being played
out on the screen, following Kristeva’s
sparse, but revolutionary, film theory.
