Moving pictures, or movies as we fondly call them, have been around for a very long time in one form or another.
The cinema is, without a doubt, the major art form of the 20th century. At its highest level of achievement it can be judged alongside great literature, great music and great painting, with filmmakers creating enduring masterpieces.
The French were the major pioneers and the moving force behind the creation of the film industry as we know it today. They were soon joined, however, by the British, the Scandinavians, the Italians who pioneered historical epics such as Quo Vadis, the Russians, the Germans, the Indians, the Japanese and of course, the Americans.
The history of the cinema is endlessly fascinating, and the films themselves are a record of our rapidly changing world. The movies have something for everyone--- romance, comedy, thrills, adventure, horror, war, patriotism, dance, history, and the lure of the Old West. Films can delight or enchant; they can frighten, shock or appall. They transport us into fantasy worlds; they make us laugh or cry. They provide food for thought--- educating and informing us --- and teaching us about other cultures.
Literally thousands of books have been produced about the movies and the people who make them.
With this book, in the format of the highly successful Chronicle series, we take a journey through one hundred years of cinema history and films, analyzing events as they happen, in accessible journalistic style. Cinema Year by Year is, in fact, a lavishly illustrated and extended “newspaper”, which aims both to inform and delight moviegoers and to provide a unique reference book for the buff or student.
