Beskrivning
The collection of essays brings together texts from two decades, documenting two of the author's ongoing areas of interest: the poetics of colour in film as well as affective viewer responses. Employing a bottom-up approach as a basis for theoretical exploration, each of the essays concentrates on a particular film or a number of related films to come to terms with a set of issues. These include the differences between black-and-white and color works, the emergence of bold chromatic schemes in the 1950s, experimental aesthetics of color negative stock, idiosyncratic uses of colour, idiosyncratic uses of motor mimicry, genre-specific reactions to the documentary, and empathetic reactions to animals and to architecture in film. A close reading of the colour aesthetics in film, tracing the historical development of film styles in relation to colour.

Recensioner i media

An extraordinary collection of essays addressing core issues of how we experience moving pictures. Brinckmann brilliantly discusses what watching films is all about: our cognitive, emotional and sensual engagement with the images on the screen - Prof. dr. Frank Kessler, Utrecht University, I highly recommend this text for undergraduate and graduate courses, and because the translation from German to English is excellent, the writing style is jargon-free and clear.- Angela Dalle Vacche in Millennium Film Journal No. 62 , The strength of this collection lies in the diversity and range of Brinckmann's six case studies on color, from silent film to the avant-garde, melodrama, and musicals [...] Brinckmann is especially alert to color's sensual and perceptual effects in unexpected cinematic places. - Kirsten Moana Thompson in Film Quarterly
