Narration in the Fiction Film
What is cinematic storytelling? How can we understand its  technique and complexities? What are its extents and limitations? In this  monumental work, David Bordwell catalogues every aspect of film  narrative, offering insight into an amazing variety of fiction films. The  author, who is as comfortable talking about Al Jolson movies as he is  describing the career of Jean-Luc Godard, has made a major contribution  to film studies and the field of narrative theory.--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
