About the Book
This volume brings together a rich collection of essays on film studies written between 1955 and 2001. Ashish Barman engages with cinema not merely as entertainment but as an art form shaped by history, society, and ideology.

Spanning decades of critical reflection, the essays trace the evolution of cinematic language, narrative technique, and socio-political engagement in film. The preface by Mrinal Sen adds further depth, situating the work within the broader discourse of serious film appreciation and critique.

Compact yet substantial, this 152-page paperback offers readers an insightful journey through the intellectual and aesthetic dimensions of cinema.
