Imagining Reality

by Mark Cousins

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £1.07
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Oscar-winning documentary-maker Kevin Macdonald (One Day in September, Touching the Void) and leading broadcaster/historian Mark Cousins (The Story of Film) offer an expanded and revised edition of their ‘definitive, inspirational’ (Independent) compendium on the origins and rich history of the documentary film. This authoritatively compiled collection of writings takes the reader on a tour of the evolution of documentary as an increasingly vibrant, polemical, experimental and entertaining medium. All of the great practitioners are represented, either in their own words or through those of the most insightful commentators of the time - from Vertov and Flaherty to Marcel Ophuls and Chris Marker, Kieslowski, Claude Lanzmann, and Nick Broomfield. After years as cinema’s ne’er-do-well, documentary has recently captured the imagination of mainstream moviegoers, and this new edition carries the story up to date with pieces on the phenomena of Michael Moore, The Buena Vista Social Club, Capturing the Friedmans, Etre et Avoir, The Fog of War, The Power of Nightmares, and the strange beast that is ‘Reality TV’.
