Co-author of a pair of textbooks adopted across the globe and the main force behind a blog read by thousands, Bordwell has influenced generations of film students, filmmakers, and film critics. \u003ci\u003eObserving Film Art\u003c\/i\u003e examines the breadth of Bordwell's work through the perspectives of those who knew him best, collaborators, former students, and critics among them. This is the first collection devoted to the work of Bordwell, and it gives equal attention to each facet of his prodigious scholarship, structured to highlight his interest in theory, history, and analysis and criticism. The cornerstones of his approach to film study, including formalism, cognitivism, and historical poetics, are all examined in detail, as are key works, including \u003ci\u003eThe Classical Hollywood Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e (coauthored with Kristin Thompson and Janet Staiger) and \u003ci\u003eNarration in the Fiction Film\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlie Keil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 197884137X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978841376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Charlie Keil","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49001284337919,"sku":"9781978841376","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/observing-film-art-charlie-keil-9781978841376","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
