Reviews
'Isaacs opens a path to a theory that is rigorous about, and respectful of, the film.' Parallax, 2009, "Isaacs (Univ. of Sydney) contends that post modern narrative cinema no longer conforms to the hierarchical gradations of high art, mediocre art, and trash...This is a valuable, thought-provoking attempt to aestheticize the deployment of prior cinematic representations. Summing up: Recommended." -J.C. Tibbetts, CHOICE, December 2008, Unfortunately, despite his avowed intention to make film theory meaningful for contemporary viewers ("Film theory should be for people other than theorists"), Isaacs deploys abstruse jargon, problematic arguments, and frequent allusions to theorists such as Baudrillard, Lyotard, Eco, et. Al., thus putting the book out of reach of undergraduates. -J.C. Tibbetts, CHOICE, December 2008

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
