Reviews / Votes
"The book a very sensitive reading of the film in relation to visuality and the filmic experience. It is written in an accessible style full of energy that has the effect of drawing the reader into the heart of the analysis almost without his or her knowing." - Wimal Dissanayake, University of Hawaii"More details
