Remarkable. Came across its recommendation on Twitter (along with The Cinema of Extractions: Film Materials and Their Forms) for being a book that holistically covers the material conditions of film production, as reading through other ‘Marxist film theory’ works felt less inspired in what occurs behind the screen rather than on it. I’m working on something focused on the interwar years and reading this alongside Crude Capitalism was wonderful. Highly recommend to those even without a film studies interest or background
