This book was intended for children, but it turned out to be a book for everyone. You'll learn the most important and interesting things about the vast and complex world of cinema in no time. Anton Dolin, one of Russia's most renowned film critics, explores the most pressing questions about cinema and strives to provide simple, clear answers. The authors took their tasks very seriously: Anton Dolin tested the text on his own children (the tests were a success!), and Konstantin Bronzit, a renowned animator and artist (and Oscar nominee), created funny and unusual illustrations. With their help, you'll embark on a wonderful journey through the labyrinth of cinema—engaging, mysterious, and not at all scary.
