A full understanding and appreciation of narrative film, George
Wilson argues, requires a concept of point of view necessarily
distinct from, yet comparable to, contemporary theories of point of
view in prose fiction. Now available in paperback, Narration in
Light lays the foundations for a new account of cinematic point of
view.
Focusing on the special ways in which a film controls the access
of its viewers to the events that constitute its narrative, Wilson
offers close viewings of five classic Hollywood movies: You Only
Live Once, North by Northwest, Letter from an Unknown Woman, The
Devil Is a Woman, and Rebel without a Cause. His enlightening and
entertaining interpretations reveal surprising power and complexity
in popular, major-studio films. Their point-of-view strategies
allow them to present both obvious and oblique perspectives on
their subjects, providing subtle critiques of ideology within
conventional drama and narrative.
