Summary

Develops a theory of cinematic intertextuality. Building on the insights of semiotics and contemporary film theory, this book defines cinema as a chain of transparent, mimetic fragments intermixed with quotations. It is of interest to film historians and theorists, as well as readers in cultural and literary studies.
