Reviews

This is a highly original contribution to the field of film studies. Through the accumulation of brilliant examples, Varndell makes the case that movies are compulsively drawn to etiquette as a theme, either through their observation of the minutiae of social behavior or through the ways in which they dramatize its rules and violations. - Alex Clayton, University of Bristol
