«Saber ver el cine» is the introduction to film language manual by Antonio Costa, published by Paidós in 1988 in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
The book analyzes cinema as a technical, economic, narrative and communicative phenomenon, and explains how a film is built, from the script to special effects. It integrates film history with the study of film language and starts from the viewer's experience to show the rules of the medium.
The work belongs to the Instrumentos Paidós collection, directed by Umberto Eco. The original Italian title, published in 1985, is «Saper vedere il cinema».
Intended for film enthusiasts who wish to move beyond occasional viewing and understand film language more deeply.
