Description
What makes film uniquely capable of showing us the world? In Theory of Film, Siegfried Kracauer explores cinema’s relationship to photography, everyday life, and the physical details a camera can capture. This 1976 Oxford University Press paperback reprint offers a foundational work of film criticism for readers interested in cinema’s history and ideas.

The copy has light cover wear and age toning consistent with its age.

Why we love it
Kracauer invites readers to look more closely at what appears on screen—and at the ordinary world a film can reveal.
