Book review: Cinema Babel

I finished reading Cinema Babel a few weeks ago. This is another book I bought to read for my Directed Reading class I did as an undergraduate.

I love this book in comparison to the "Translating popular film".

This book packs a lot of information and it is all necessary. The author is less worried about how many films he can talk about, but about the culture and complexity behind translating and interpreting.

The book focuses on Japanese more than anything else, but it's still a good read even if you're not interested in Japanese culture or the language.

I felt that this book was very well written. It got kind of boring in some spots.. but overall I loved it and would highly recommend it.
