"Alert to both the ideas and the filmmaking it treats, this is a highly original work that addresses a key concept in the history of silent film, its claim to create new universal languageThe vitality and wit of the author's voice is refreshing as well—although clearly a scholarly work, it is never dry or pedantic." — Tom Gunning, University of Chicago
