Description
Film theory: an introduction offers a highly readable account of film theory, covering a period from the late 1960s to the present. This synthesis brings together various intellectual currents, including politics, semiotics and psychoanalysis.
The authors chart the construction and subsequent fragmentation of this synthesis, explaining the key concepts that have shaped film theory. The book is divided into two parts, covering both the conceptual background and specific topics such as authorship, narrative and realism.
A new edition features a foreword, updated bibliography and a 60-page Retrospect outlining developments in film theory since its original publication in 1988. This provides a valuable mapping of the current state of film theory, making it an accessible resource for students and anyone seeking to understand modern cinema.
