Film Dialogue revisits and reconfigures several of the most established topics in film studies in an effort to persuade readers that ‘spectators’ are more accurately described as ‘audiences, ‘ that the gaze has its equal in eavesdropping, and that images are best understood and appreciated through their interactions with words. Including an introduction that outlines a methodology of film dialogue study and adopting an accessible prose style throughout,
Film Dialogue is a welcome addition to ongoing debates about the place, value, and purpose of language in cinema.
