Cconosciuto e tradotto in tutto il mondo, il Thompson Bordwell presenta uno dei racconti della storia del cinema. Rispetto all'edizione anglosassone, è stato ridotto il numero di pagine, pur mantenendo inalterato lo spirito dell'originale e rispettando il pensiero degli autori. A un sensibile ridimensionamento delle introduzioni di carattere storico-economico ha fatto da contraltare l'inserimento nell'edizione italiana di box dedicati ad alcuni film, di schede sull'analisi audiovisiva del film o dedicate a questioni di rilievo, nell'ottica di fornire al lettore elementi interpretativi di base. Un'ulteriore variazione ha riguardato il documentario e l'animazione, non di rado oggetto di dibattito e di studi specifici, che sono stati affrontati negli ultimi due capitoli del volume e l'introduzione di un'appendice dedicata al linguaggio cinematografico, che ha l'obiettivo di fornire al lettore gli strumenti per familiarizzare con la terminologia specifica.

Film is an art form with a language and an aesthetic all its own. Since 1979, David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson's Film Art has been the best-selling and most widely respected introduction to the analysis of cinema. Taking a skills-centered approach supported by examples from many periods and countries, the authors help students develop a core set of analytical skills that will enrich their understanding of any film, in any genre. In-depth examples deepen students' appreciation for how creative choices by filmmakers affect what viewers experience and how they respond.

Film Art is generously illustrated with more than 1,000 frame enlargements taken directly from completed films, providing concrete illustrations of key concepts. Along with updated examples and expanded coverage of digital filmmaking, the tenth edition also offers Connect for Film Art, a digital solution that includes multimedia tutorials along with web-based assignment and assessment tools.
