Films And Feelings by Raymond Durgnat

Raymond Durgnat here examines literally hundreds of films in an effort to isolate universals of the language of films and to loft their poetics to an articulate level.
The basic approach in this endeavor at defining an aesthetic of the movies is a conscientious and knowledgeable examination of a great many films of the most diverse origins and styleBy drawing analogies to other arts, particularly to music, the author probes the conflict between the medium's function as an art form, and as a purveyor of entertainment. He finds that all movies, at all levels, are expressions of complex emotional and economic stimuli which may communicate before they are understood. The brisk narrative style of these critical insights makes for compelling and enjoyable reading.-Film News
