Trade Review
Succint yet detailed, comprehensive, engaging and entertaining, this volume astutely charts the importance and continuing relevance of theory for film studies. It is also polemical and original insofar as it debunks a range of misconceptions relating to film theory, while also offering insights into challenging new theoretical domains. -- Richard Rushton, Lancaster University In her concise but also unconventional account Colman challenges readers, refusing to shy away from film theory's complexity or from deliberate provocation... Refreshing... Impressive... New Review of Film and Television
