Description

Book Synopsis
The use of rhythm in filmmaking from the silent era to today

Trade Review

In [Biro's] new work, turbulence and flow advance a theme that has been central to the seventh art since its origins, but which concerns us now more than ever: that of time. Yvette Biro, in a series of brilliant chapters, which are at the same time complex and free of jargon, broaches all the facets of this problem—aesthetic as well as philosophical.

* Michel Ciment, Director of Positif, President of FIPRESCI *
