Films are full of words on the screen. There are letters that come
in the post, written and printed papers, and epitaphs. They can be
declarations of love, or the words that tell us where we are or
what is happening, varying from the most intimate confessions to
straightforward signs. We do not often pause to think about our own
interpretation of them, yet our response to reading and writing can
be an important part of how we understand films. This book looks in
detail at five films - Letter from an Unknown Woman; All This, and
Heaven Too; The Man who Shot Liberty Valance; Into the Wild; and
The Reader - and reveals how words work on screen, and the
importance of literacy in their worlds. It sheds new light on some
classic films and explores the uses of this form of expression in
the work of modern film makers.
