The TLA Film and Video Guide is the first truly original, absolutely indispensable guide for the true lover of cinema. By focusing on the independent and international films, at no expense to the mainstream, and avoiding much of the made-for-TV/made-for-cable/made-for-video dreck, this guide offers more comprehensive and critical comments than found in the usual video guide. It also features:
-- Nearly 9,000 films reviewed
-- Five comprehensive indexes -- by star, director, theme, genre, and country of origin
-- Over 450 photos
-- A listing of all major film awards
-- A four star rating system
-- The most comprehensive selection of International Cinema from over 50 countries

From the team of editors assembled by TLA, the finest name in video retailing and a growing chain of rental stores, comes the latest edition of the film and video guide for everyone whose tastes range from Rashomon to Showgirls, from Berlin Alexander-platz to Bringing Up Baby.
