Cinema entertainment : essays on audiences, films and film-makers /

Entertainment is a defining feature of contemporary culture, yet it is often accused of being superficial and even harmful. The authors challenge this negative view and argue for a reconsideration of the value of entertainment and the effect it has on the world in which we live.
