A Biographical Dictionary of Film

Description

A Biographical Dictionary of Film is the definitive reference for anyone serious about understanding the people who shaped cinema. David Thomson traces the lives and careers of the most influential filmmakers, actors, directors, and screenwriters in a single volume.

From the pioneers of silent film to the modern directors of the 1990s, Thomson captures the passion and politics of the medium. The EPUB edition is perfect for mobile reading and research, making it an essential digital library for every film lover's collection.
