Book Synopsis
Examines the importance of rhetoric in the study of film and film theory. Taking on such issues as Hollywood blacklisting, fascistic aesthetics, and postmodern dialogics, this work presents fifteen critical essays that examine rhetoric's role in such films as ""The Fifth Element"", ""The Last Temptation of Christ"", and ""A Time to Kill"".

Trade Review
The Terministic Screen: Rhetorical Perspectives on Film offers readers who have interests or specialities in rhetorical analysis a point of entry into contemporary cinema as it frames issues of style, representation, history, and culture. Although the literature on cinema is vast, relatively few books have adopted an explicitly rhetorical emphasis. Thus, this volume fills a long-neglected gap in the scholarly literature on film. - Stephen Prince, author of Movies and Meaning: An Introduction to Film
