От братьев Люмьер до голливудских блокбастеров. Главное в истории кинематографа

If a single film is a snapshot of the soul of its creator, then the cinema of the 20th century is certainly a reflection of the time. The pages of history are filled with both tragic moments and humorous ones. This book brings together the witty stories and apocryphal stories that made cinema what it is today. And, of course, a portrait gallery of the brightest directors, whose faces reflect the progress and development of the industry, its aesthetic formation and conceptual diversity. You will learn about who was the main rival of the Lumiere brothers in the making of the first film; why it was Sergei Eisenstein who had such an impact on cinema; what influence painting had on filmmakers and other interesting facts and stories that everyone who considers himself a movie connoisseur must know.
