by F Casetti (Author)
Is it true that film in the twentieth century experimented with vision more than any other art form? And what visions did it privilege? This book situates the cinematic experience within discourses of twentieth-century modernity. It examines film's nature as a medium in an age obsessed with immediacy, nearness, and accessibility.
