A Grammar of Murder: Violent Scenes and Film Form

A Grammar of Murder: Violent Scenes and Film Form

by Karla Oeler (Author)

Synopsis

The dark shadows and offscreen space that force us to imagine violence we cannot see. The real slaughter of animals spliced with the fictional killing of men. The missing countershot from the murder victim's point of view. This book argues that such images, or absent images, distill how the murder scene challenges and changes film.
