The Power of Film
“Howard Suber’s understanding of film storytelling fills the pages of this wise, liberating book. Much of it is surprisingly contrary to what ‘everyone knows.’ A remarkable work.”
— Francis Ford Coppola
“Filmmakers, scholars, and anyone else with a serious interest in film can rejoice. A fascinating and thought-provoking work.”
— Alexander Payne
“What Aristotle did for drama, Howard Suber has now done for film. This is a profound and succinct book that is miraculously fun to read.”
— David Koepp – Screenwriter, War of the Worlds, Spider-Man, Mission Impossible, Jurassic Park
“William Goldman, who said ‘nobody knows anything’ about Hollywood films, probably never took a class from Howard Suber. Put this book on the shelf between Aristotle’s Poetics and your OED; Professor Suber knows more about what’s important about film storytelling than anyone I’ve ever encountered, and he presents it here in an incredibly clear, useful, and provocative way.”— Dan Pyne – Screenwriter, The Manchurian Candidate (2004),
