Beskrivning

This book considers films that have experimented with new, increasingly complicated narrative approaches, including Stage Fright and Hiroshima, Mon Amour, to show how they reveal the limitations of most of our usual tools for analysing film.

Recensioner i media

"Hven's book constitutes an essential theoretical instrument with which we can orient ourselves in the contemporary debate concerning the nature and potentiality of audiovisual experience, and it offers an original, interdisciplinary, and embodied cognitive perspective on cinema. Furthermore, with its powerful and innovative arguments, this text will surely constitute a reference point for all those interested in going beyond old, closed dichotomies that are inadequate to tackle the complexity of contemporary audiovisual culture." - Francesco Sticchi, *Projections* Volume 13, Issue 1, Spring 2019
