Add to basketThe Language and Style of Film Criticism brings together original essays from an international range of academics and film critics highlighting the achievements, complexities and potential of film criticism.
In recent years, in contrast to the theoretical, historical and cultural study of film, film criticism has been relatively marginalised, especially within the academy. This book highlights the distinctiveness of film criticism and addresses ways in which it can take a more central place within the academy and develop in dynamic ways outside it.
The Language and Style of Film Criticism is essential reading for academics, teachers, students and journalists who wish to understand and appreciate the language and style of film criticism.
Dr Andrew Klevan is University Lecturer in Film Studies at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of St. Anne’s College where he convenes the Master’s Degree in Film Aesthetics. He is the author of two books, Disclosure of the Everyday: Undramatic Achievement in Narrative Film (2000) and Film Performance: From Achievement to Appreciation (2005), and a range of essays which explore and practise film criticism.
Dr Alex Clayton is Lecturer in Screen Studies at the University of Bristol. He is the author of The Body in Hollywood Slapstick (2007) and has published articles on comedy, performance, colour, and the use of music in film.
