For Bordwell, films are \u003cem\u003emade\u003c\/em\u003e things, existing within \u003cem\u003ehistorical \u003c\/em\u003econtexts, and aim to create determinate \u003cem\u003eeffects\u003c\/em\u003e. Beginning with this central thesis, Bordwell works out a full understanding of how films channel and recast cultural influences for their cinematic purposes. With more than five hundred film stills, \u003cem\u003ePoetics of Cinema\u003c\/em\u003e is a must-have for any student of cinema. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Bordwell\u003c\/strong\u003e, Jacques Ledoux Professor at the University of Wisconsin, is arguably the most influential scholar of film in the United States.
