Why read it?

1 author picked Narration in the Fiction Film as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book initiated my interest in narrative film theory back in my graduate school days. It became a crucial source for my dissertation.

Bordwell writes about popular films but with a highly analytical eye. All his books are worth reading for those who want intelligent, in-depth discussion, not just stories about Hollywood culture. 

From Larry's list on the art of filmmaking.
