Editorial Review: Product Description: The Time Out Film guide, now in its 14th edition, stands out for its incisive, independent-minded reviews. Featuring full-color photos throughout, this edition contains more than 16,000 reviews, all written by knowledgeable critics with a passion for film. Each review contains major technical credits, country of origin, running time, color code, copyright year, and cast list. Icons identify the top 100 films named in both readers' and Cinema Centenary polls. Multiple appendixes classify titles by category and country, while comprehensive indexes — expanded for this edition — identify award-winning films, plus the works of important actors and every director covered in the guide. Equally useful as an authoritative reference and for browsing, this guide contains an updated website directory and listings of the 2005 Oscars and BAFTAs, along with the latest Berlin, Cannes, and Venice winners.
