Description

Mitry attempts to supply the missing link between the classical film theorists and the film semioticians, providing a statement of the psychological and formalist views of film. This one-volume condensation of "Esthetique et Psychologie du Cinema" discusses such topics as the film image, rhythm and montage, rhythm and moving shots, and time and space of the drama.
