It looks equally to the past and future; and it investigates features both little and large, both peripheral and imperial. For these reasons, the editors and contributors are to be congratulated alike. Ideally suited to cinema survey classes, Cinemasaurus will offer clarity to both students and scholars, and it will prompt substantial future research. - Studies in European Cinema Author InformationNancy Condee is Director of University of Pittsburgh's Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies Center, a Title VI Center.
