Though intimacy has been a wide concern in the humanities, it has
received little critical attention in film studies. I Feel
Different Inside: Essays on Intimacy in English-Speaking Cinema
thus proposes to investigate both the potential intimacy of cinema
as a medium and the possibility of a cinema of intimacy where it is
least expected. As a notion that relies on binaries such as inside
and outside, surface and depth, public and private, and self and
other, intimacy, because it implies sharing, is especially apt to
call into question the borders between these binaries, and,
accordingly, the border which separates mainstream cinema and
independent, underground or auteur cinema. Following on Thomas
Elsaesser's theoretical interrogation of the relationship between
the intimacy of cinema and the cinema of intimacy, the essays,
organized mainly according to chronology, explore intimacy in
silent and classical Hollywood cinema, underground, documentary and
animation films, and finally contemporary Hollywood, British,
Canadian and Australian cinema, from a variety of approaches that
are grounded in neo-formalism and narratology, phenomenology,
psychoanalysis and cognitive psychology, cultural, gender,
reception and film genre studies.
