an amateur, wannabe film critic and analyst, who should be writing his dissertation on other matters, has decided to turn his spare time into analyzing the creation of narrative perspective in the films he watches.

new useful link to some analytical masters

Well, it isn't a surprise that Kristin Thompson and David Bordwell's blog was added to my useful links. Two scholars of film studies, steeped in the history of film in various traditions, who do some very nice formal analysis of what I assume to be work in progress on their blog. Besides the blog, David Bordwell's site is a very rich resource for Film Studies. I just read David's post on some little-known Japanese action movies from the 20s & 30s, and the innovative use of cuts in a fight scene. Truly sophisticated analysis.

And a blog I shall frequent.
