He has given us a book worthy of Andre Bazin?s intelligence, originality, curiosity, and spirit." Eric Smoodin, University of California at Davis "A new slant on Bazin with fresh disclosures for our era of digital media is always welcome, especially from Dudley Andrew, Bazin's foremost expositor. Andrew's graceful and analytic prose is peppered with timely provocations of his own, starting with the Preface. Made manifest throughout is the continuing relevance of Bazin's devotion to cinema and compassion for humanity." Edward Branigan, University of California at Santa Barbara
