Film Directors and Emotion

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Writing from a position beyond the standard Film Studies arena, Greene and Price have compiled a series of theoretical, formal analyses of some of the most interesting contemporary American (indie and mainstream) filmmakers and their work. Coherently united under the broad theme of cinematic 'affect,' this book interweaves a rich array of interdisciplinary strands-from Aristotle to Zizek-into a compelling tapestry of film interpretation that both celebrates, and reminds the reader of, the intertextual nature of the medium and how it is always usefully considered within the context of its rich cultural, textual heritage. Film Directors and Emotion will satisfy cinephiles and inquisitive readers who are looking to be stimulated by alternative ways of exploring the art and thinking that contemporary cinema offers."- Dr. Barry Monahan, Film Studies, University College Cork, Ireland
