Description
Describing Cinema explores how viewers respond to films through acts of describing scenes, shots, and sequences. This approach reveals complex ways of seeing that involve accuracy, mobility of understanding, and interpretation.
The book examines this method through a theoretical framework and sixteen short essays on post-war cinema landmarks. By analyzing these descriptions, the author demonstrates their energy and movement as a creative and intersubjective process between images, viewers, and language.
