The film's journey from screen to viewer

In his narrative odyssey of the history of filmmaking, film critic Roger Manville opens a wide window into the interwoven worlds of the film industry, giving the reader keys to understanding its history and development. The narration begins from the point of the silent film, those first pages on which cinema wrote its first texts in the language of images alone, explaining how these films were the basic building blocks on which subsequent artistic works were built.
Manvel then transports us to the revolutionary era of the talking film, where cinema transformed from a formal art into an art that spoke all the languages --of the world, revolutionizing production methods and the ways the public received this art. It does not neglect to review the achievements of industry pioneers who influenced and developed it worldwide, such as Charlie Chaplin and Alfred Hitchcock, reviewing how their creativity contributed to weaving the fabric of world cinema.
This book opens the gates of understanding how cinema developed into a language that crosses continents and cultures, affecting souls and shaping identities. It is a comprehensive guide that delves into the profound effects of cinema on audiences, showcasing how films manipulate our emotions and reshape our thinking. In doing so, Roger Manvel makes an indispensable contribution to anyone who wishes to understand the artistic and psychological dimensions of this fascinating art.
