Reviews
"With this elegant volume, Dudley Andrew brilliantly continues his extended project of producing a historiography of film theory and of French cinema. He has given us a book worthy of André Bazin's intelligence, originality, curiosity, and spirit." Eric Smoodin, University of California at Davis "A new slant on Bazin with fresh disclosures for our era of digital media is always welcome, especially from Dudley Andrew, Bazin's foremost expositor. Andrew's graceful and analytic prose is peppered with timely provocations of his own, starting with the Preface. Made manifest throughout is the continuing relevance of Bazin's devotion to cinema and compassion for humanity." Edward Branigan, University of California at Santa Barbara

Written by one of the foremost film scholars of our time Establishes cinema's distinction from the current enthusiasm over audio-visual entertainment, without relegating cinema to a single, older mode Examines cinema's institutions and its social force through the qualities of key films Traces the history of an idea that has made cinema supremely alive to (and in) our times, What Cinema Is! offers an engaging answer to Andre Bazin s famous question through a sweeping look back over the phenomenal ascendancy of a certain idea of cinema. Written by one of the foremost film scholars of our time, this provocative volume proclaims cinema s distinct value not just for the last century but for our current audio-visual culture. Whatever cinema may yet become, this unique idea should orient and guide it.

From the art films cherished by cinephiles after World War II through the banner years of the New Wave to a technologically expanded cinema, Andrew traces the long nerve of this idea that has made cinema supremely alive to (and in) our times., What Cinema Is! offers an engaging answer to Andre Bazin's famous question, exploring his 'idea of cinema' with a sweeping look back at the near century of Cinema's phenomenal ascendancy.
