"In Filmish, cartoonist Edward Ross takes us on an exhilarating ride through the history of cinema, using comics to uncover the magic and mechanics behind our favorite movies. Exploring everything from censorship to set design, Ross spotlights the films and film-makers that embody this provocative and inventive medium, from the pioneers of early cinema to the innovators shaping the movies of today, from A Trip to the Moon to Inception and beyond"--Page 4 of cover.
Film theory as graphic novel, with excellent references. Seven short chapters cover aspects of film as a discussion, with the narrator sometimes costumed for the role. Most are iconic and recognizable, with the exception of Tom Cruise in Top Gun. Recommended.
