内容简介
······

The study of cinematic style has in many ways shaped attitudes towards films. Style assigns films to a tradition, distinguishes a classic and signals the arrival of an innovation. This book aims to show how film scholars have attempted to explain stylistic continuity and change across the history of cinema. The author explores the theories of style launched by Andre Bazin, Noel Burch and other film historians. In the process he celebrates a century of cinema, integrating discussions of the film classics such as "The Birth of a Nation" and "Citizen Cane", with analysis of more current box-office successes such as "Jaws" and "The Hunt For Red October". The contributions of noted and neglected directors are examined, and the author considers the earliest film making, the accomplishments of the silent era, the development of Hollywood, and the strides taken by European and Asian cinema in recent years. The book proposes that stylistic developments often arise from filmmakers' search for efficient solutions to production problems. The author traces this activity across history through a detailed discussion of cinematic staging.

波德维尔的逻辑就是讲语义场，其他学科的人也会，电影研究风格史的意义就是做其他学科做不了的事儿。电影可以把艺术史当做学科模范。

最后一章

很久很久以前，听说过的书，在master的时候阅读了
和好书相遇的时间很重要，太早的话，我一定不理解里面的东西 好在现在是跳出电影学看电影学

大部分内容是historiography of the historiography of film style，整理了主要的风格史模型（巴赞、Burch等），写法高级，可以清楚看到特定影片、导演、风格是在何种脉络中实现经典化的。最后一章提出了DB自己主张的问题-解决模型，并应用于对staging of depth的细密分析。
