Falling for You: Essays on Cinema and Performance offers a unique perspective on performance in cinema. The essays explore how actors move through cinematic space and according to cinematic temporalities, focusing on influential figures such as Welles, Cassavetes, Scorsese, Hartley, Ts'ai Ming-Liang, Chaplin, Keaton and Streisand. These essays provide inventive and persuasive readings of particular films and performers, shedding light on the affective force of cinema. By concentrating on an under-theorised area, Falling For You brings a lively curiosity to bear on performance, expanding the imaginative horizon of cinema studies. With its range of theoretical approaches, this book is ideal for those interested in film theory, performance, or cinema studies.
