Synopsis
The current edition of this volume contains some 480 new reviews, with enriched coverage of both new and old titles from France, China and Japan, and it has, in addition, been extensively revised and expanded. Key creative personnel - producers, screenwriters, cinematographers,editors, production designers and composers - are now listed, in addition to directors and cast members. This guide regular features - the Centenary Top One Hundred poll of critics and film-makers and the Reader's Top One Hundred poll - have been retained, along with icons in the text highlighting every film in both polls. The appendices of film categories and major film-producing countries, and the actors', directors' and general subject indexes have been updated and expanded, as has the appendix for the chief prize-winner at the Academy Awards and BAFTA ceremonies, plus those from the Cannes, Berlin and Venice film festivals. finally, "end credits" marks the achievements of more than a hundred notable film people who died between July 1998 and June 1999.

Review
The Time Out Film Guide is a collection of capsule reviews written originally for the Time Out magazine. Its commentary is more lengthy and detailed than that of most other guides and while some of its critics summarise too much of their movies' plots, their critical remarks are engaging and provocative. The Time Out Film Guide features contributions from scores of movie critics who sometimes spar with one another: compare the book's two assessments of Blade Runner. The reviewers cover many European and Asian movies you won't find in other movie guides. This is the only film book where you can find remarks on Casablanca, Gone with the Wind and Forrest Gump alongside reviews of non-Hollywood films such as Samuel Beckett and Buster Keaton's Film, Akira Kurosawa's Madadayo, and Michelangelo Antonioni's Identification of a Woman. The Time Out Film Guide also contains a great number of terrific appendices and indices. In fact, it is this book's listing of films by genre, major film-producing country, actor, director, and general subject that make it a necessary reference tool for movie lovers. --Jake Bond
