Highlighting the shifting intersection of point of view and camera position, Daniel Morgan draws on a range of theoretical arguments and detailed analyses across cinemas to reimagine the relation between spectator and cameraand between camera and film world.With sustained accounts of how the camera moves in films by Fritz Lang, Guru Dutt, Max Ophuls, and Terrence Malick and in contemporary digital technologies,The Lure of the Imageexposes the persistent fantasy that we move with the camera within the world of the film and examines the ways that filmmakers have exploited this fantasy. In so doing, Morgan provides a more flexible account of camera movement, one that enables a fuller understanding of the political and ethical stakes entailed by this key component of cinematic style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Morgan provides an admirably comprehensive and remarkably nuanced exploration of one of the most undeniably fascinating yet strangely neglected aspects of cinema, one that is sure to be the definitive work on the subject for years if not decades to come. . . . \u003ci\u003eThe Lure of the Image\u003c\/i\u003e is exemplary.\" * Senses of Cinema *","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402934493527,"sku":"9780520344259","price":64.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780520344259.jpg?v=1730481898","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-lure-of-the-image-9780520344259","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
