 | The Horse Who Drank the Sky: Film Experience Beyond Narrative and Theory By looking at point of view, the gaze, the voice from nowhere, diegesis and its discontents, ideology, the system of the apparatus, invisible editing, and the technique of overlapping sound, he argues that it is often the minuscule or transitional moments in motion pictures that penetrate most deeply into viewers' experiences. In films that include Rebel Without a Cause , Dead Man , Chinatown , The Graduate , North by Northwest , Dinner at Eight , Jaws , M , Stage Fright , Saturday Night Fever , The Band Wagon , The Bourne Identity , and dozens more, Pomerance invokes complexities that many of the best of critics have rarely tackled and opens a revealing view of some of the most astonishing moments in cinema. MURRAY POMERANCE is an independent film scholar in Toronto and the author or editor of more than a dozen books, including Johnny Depp Starts Here and City That Never Sleeps: New York and the Filmic Imagination (both Rutgers University Press). |
