Editorial Reviews

Review

‘Every film student would be well advised to have a copy of the revised and updated version of Susan Hayward’s Cinema Studies: The Key Concepts next to them as they progress through their course. It offers succinct and well-informed definitions of key terms within the field as well as providing a range of further sources for readers to pursue their own research interests.’

Dr Andy Willis, Reader in Film Studies, School of Arts and Media, University of Salford, UK

    3.0 out of 5 stars this book is a must
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 6, 2020
    This book is a unique masterpiece listing the fundamental concepts of cinema. Unfortunately, the author manifests a lack of sufficient familiarity with the world of cinema. For example, she correctly qualifies Brigitte Bardot as a sex-goddess comparable to sex-symbols such as Marilyn Monroe or Ava Gardner; but she then identifies them with Sophia Loren who, unknown to her, is one of the greatest twentieth century movie actresses, dramatic (Blood Feud), tragic (Two Women) , melodramatic (I Girasoli) etc. Italian cinema also remains limited to neo-realism, ignoring Michelangelo Antonioni with Monica Vitti's l'Avventura, or Federico Fellini, which she categorises erroneously as neo-realists. Italian cinema as been one of the greatest moments of the twentieth century art history. Furthermore, why twelve pages on psychoanalysis and not a word about cogntive theory, a discipline that is much more scientific, actual and relevant as shown by Gregory Currie?
