Forget Leonard Maltin! Remember Georges Sadoul!

Georges Sadoul is the father of film critics. Here he collects the classics of cinema, with utter sensitivity and complete knowledge. If you have ever felt lost in the video store, looking for a classic or foreign film, then let Sadoul be your guide. As more and more early and obscure films are released on video, you will find them hard to locate in some Maltin or (blech) Blockbuster guide. This book, alongside the even more informative, Dictionary of Filmmakers, is mandatory for any film connoisseur trying to get a grip of film history
