Review Quotes:
"This volume captures facets of the thought, discipline, and far-reaching influence of Bordwell. An independent, profoundly self-confident intellectual, he was consistently methodical in his projects but always acknowledged the giants that inspired him in the sciences and humanities. Beneath the profound writing lurked a biting, often scatological, sense of humor."
--Donald Crafton "author of Shadow of a Mouse: Performance, Belief, and World-Making in Animation"
