About this book

Theory of Film by Siegfried Kracauer. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780691037042.

Siegfried Kracauers classic study, originally published in 1960, explores the distinctive qualities of the cinematic medium. The book takes its place alongside works in classical film theory by such figures as Béla Balázs, Rudolf Arnheim, and André Bazin, among others, and has met with much critical dispute. In this new edition, Miriam Bratu Hansen, examining the book in the context of Kracauers extensive film criticism from the 1920s, provides a framework for appreciating the significance of Theory of Film for contemporary film theory.
