Quotes Tagged “Film Analysis”

“ Film analysis enables us to recognize how the filmmakers have their magic on us, how all the constituent elements of the film have combined to create that magic. Rather than rob us of the pleasures of watching films, this approach affords us the even greater pleasure of deep engagement ”
― Jon Lewis, Essential Cinema: An Introduction to Film Analysis
