View: You thought you know the film? Well, you don't

As an adolescent developing an interest in old cinema, one of my prized books was Roger Manvell's 1946 Film, and through its pages, I first formed impressions of what certain films looked like. There were striking double-exposure shots from German Expressionist classics like Carl Mayer's 1924 The Last Laugh, images that emphasised giant shadows, and people caught in quiet contemplation.
