A beautiful book as well as an amazing review on the epic story of cinema — this book gives a new and exhilarating look at the great history of this form of art, which was born in fairgrounds. A form of art that eventually became the lair of truth, glamour, boldness and the wildest dreams!

Collection ” L’Art et les grandes civilisations “, a 608-page book, bound in cloth with an illustrated dust jacket and box.

Nearly 700 reproductions illustrating more than 1,000 films, directors and actors, an international approach covering the five continents since the birth of the seventh art, a historical and aesthetic approach by one of the best specialists, a masterly sum destined to become the reference. The Art of Cinema tells in a synthetic and accessible way the immense adventure of a technique and a leisure activity invented at the end of the 19th century and which became a mode of expression in its own right. An art rich in the diversity of the great authors who created it, witnessing the great historical changes, translating through images and sounds, realities and imaginations, the diversity of a world in perpetual expansion. Attentive to the creators and styles as well as to the economic, technical and sociological stakes that work the cinema, stimulate or disturb it, this work accompanies the tribulations of an art that has never ceased to be contemporary, at the cost of a constant reinvention of itself, in Paris and Berlin, in Los Angeles and Moscow, but also in China, India and Latin America, in the crucible of the great spectacle as well as at the limits of the most innovative aesthetic research.
