Exploring the challenges of articulating the cinematic experience, this book examines a wide array of films and television shows, from On the Waterfront to Marriage Story. It begins with Julian Jaynes's insights on vocality and imagination, leading into three movements that provoke readers to reconsider their perceptions of cinema.
