"Shekhar Deshpande and Meta Mazaj’s World Cinema: A Critical Introduction offers an extremely thorough, insightful, and multidimensional analysis of the current state of World Cinema and World Cinema Studies in all their aspects – historical aesthetic, authorial, industrial, and spectatorial. The book constitutes a stupendous achievement -- dense well-researched, well-written and replete with mini-essays on a huge variety of subjects."
