From the Paper:

"Few texts can make claims to possess the kind of methodical comprehensiveness that George Melnyk's One Hundred Years of Canadian Cinema does. It is a massive, tome of a book whose physical heft correctly suggests all of the intellectual and academic weight that the author imbued within the pages of the three hundred sixty-one page work on the history of the Canadian cinema. Not to give away my feelings on the book prematurely, but the work that Melnyk managed in composing this piece of much-needed non-fiction should be considered one of the author's greatest achievements. The remainder of this review will be divided into four sections. The first will examine Melnyk's thesis, argument, and goal in writing "One Hundred Years of Canadian Cinema"."
