Media Reviews
In How Movies Work Bruce Kawin demonstrates quite deftly that one can engage in rudimentary ideological and formal analysis of Hollywood films, yet still discuss commercial film economics. . . . How Movies Work is a unique book because . . . it actually includes films by women and independents. --Patricia Zimmerman, Journal of Film and Video
