In Search of Cinema

"Cardullo's highly readable and often brilliantly elucidating essays reveal intricate connections and parallels between film content and film form. There are few recent books that provide this kind of close reading of contemporary films. Cardullo offers a refreshing alternative to both the facile star-gazing monographs that one can find in any bookstore and the arcane publications that deal with phenomenology, sexual-identity politics, historiography, and the cognitive dissection of film styles and techniques."
