Description de l'ouvrage :
A new approach to a director whose contribution to cinema is often overshadowed his personal life, Polanski and Perception focuses on Roman Polanski’s interest in the nature of perception and how this is manifested in his films. The incorporation of cognitive research into film theory is becoming increasingly widespread, with novel cinematic technologies and recent developments in digital projection making a strong grasp of perceptual psychology critical to fostering cognitive engagement.Informed by the work of neuropsychologist R. L. Gregory, this volume focuses primarily on two sets of films: the Apartment trilogyof Repulsion, Rosemary’s Baby, and The Tenant; and the Investigation trilogy of Chinatown, Frantic, and The Ninth Gate. Also included are case studies of Knife in the Water, Death and the Maiden, and The Ghost.Polanski and Perception presents a highly original and engaging new look at the work of this influential filmmaker.
Revue de Presse :
“Polanski and Perception breathes fresh air into the academic corpus on Polanski’s cinema and presents an engaging discussion of a significantly underrepresented aspect of this director’s filmmaking: the faculty of visual perception. . . . Caputo’s book is successful in its endeavor to explicate the influence of Gregory’s indirect/active perception on Polanski’s filmmaking. It is a novel and informative approach to his cinema delving into many unexplored areas in the director’s depiction of individuals’ perception. It indeed has made a valuable contribution to the existing body of studies done on the cinema of this world-renowned director.”
