Features include cast lists and other key creative personnel, more than 110 obituary notes from 2001/2002 and indexes covering film by country, genre, subject, director and actor.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

'Bow down and worship at the altar of Time Out's Film Guide- head and shoulders above the rest of its class.' Total Film

The Time Out Film Guide contains over 15,800 film reviews assembled over 37 years and written by a team of over 230 sharp, knowledgeable critics. These reviews are drawn from the full spectrum of cinema history: Russian silents to Ealing comedies, classic documentaries to Japanese anime, poverty row B-movies to Hollywood blockbusters. Each review is headed by the film's chief technical credits, country of origin, running time, colour code, copyright year and cast list. In addition, icons identify the top 100 films named in both readers' and Cinema Centenary polls. Twenty-one appendices classify by category and country, while comprehensive indices identify the works of every director covered in the guide and those of a selection of significant actors. Features new to the twelfth edition are present here again. These include colour tabs throughout to aid navigation, more colour illustrations, and the inclusion of 100 new cinefile boxes, containing pictures and more in-depth reviews of classic films.

'The best guide for cinephiles - 1,500 pages of lively and erudite opinion.' Observer

Biographie de l'auteur

Founded in 1968, Time Out has grown from humble beginnings into the leading resource for anyone wanting to know what’s happening in the world’s greatest cities. Alongside our influential weeklies in London, New York, Chicago and Dubai, we publish more than 20 magazines in cities as varied as Beijing and Beirut; a range of travel books, with City Guides now joined by pocket-sized Shortlist series; and an information-packed website. The company remains proudly independent, still owned by Tony Elliott four decades after he launched Time Out London. Written by local experts, and illustrated with original photography, our books also retain their independence. No business has been featured because it has advertised, and all restaurants and bars are visited and reviewed anonymously.
