Filmish: A Graphic Journey Through Film Reviews
-
Filmish by Edward Ross draws on cinema to work through the conventions of a graphic novel. Ross weaves theory into the mix, citing theorists like Laura Mulvey. The book is broken into sections, each one illuminating a different affordance of film.Of course, the book is profligate with examples, with film including early examples up to titles released in recent years. I would use this book as a teacher of media, but also found it informative and useful as a reader.

A real pleasure for a movie fan and a graphic story fan!

A perfect little coffee table book, easy to pick up and read but beautifully illustrated. Surprisingly covers a lot of film history in clever and interesting ways.

Increíble libro ilustrado que resume muy bien la historia del cine en capítulos visualmente divertidos y muy interesantes. La sorpresa que me llevé es que el autor, además de tener amplio conocimiento de la evolución del cine, también deja unos planteamientos y reflexiones muy interesantes para todx aquel que guste de este arte.Muy recomendable, para principiantes y un poco más.

Enjoyed the quirky style and content, interesting although not a film buff.
