Book Presentation:
First published in 1969, Signs and Meaning in the Cinema transformed the emerging discipline of film studies. Remarkably eclectic and informed, Peter Wollen's higly influential and groundbreaking work remains a brilliant and accessible theorization of film as an art form and as a sign system. This fifth edition brings together material from the four previous editions, inviting the reader to trace the development of Wollen's thinking, and the unfolding of the discourse of cinema.
