Love in Motion - Erotic Relationships in Film

List of contents

About the author

Summary

"This book is about film's encounter with love throughout the medium's history. It is also about the philosophy of love... [it] outlines a new metaphysics and ontology of love as a reciprocal erotic relationship. This study argues that film's special narrative language is particularly well suited to depicting love in this way. It begins with early silent directors, such as Joseph von Sternberg, and concludes with contemporary filmmakers, such as Sophia Coppola; it also compares classical French and American love films of the 1940s with modernist films by Luis Buanuel, Franocois Truffaut, and Wong Kar Wai, amongst many others"--Page [4] of cover.
