Bibliography

On Deep Focus Review, I draw from my small library of resources to inform my reviews and essays. The texts include film histories, film theory in books and journals, and biographical texts. The resources also include a few online articles, disc extras, and other media. I have compiled a list of the most commonly used and referenced sources below.
