This is a book about the nature of film: about the nature of moving
images, about the viewer's relation to film, and about the kinds of
narrative that film is capable of presenting. It represents a very
decisive break with the semiotic and psychoanalytic theories of
film which have dominated discussion. The central thesis is that
film is essentially a pictorial medium and that the movement of
film images is real rather than illusory. A general theory of
pictorial representation is presented, which insists on the realism
of pictures and the impossibility of assimilating them to language.
It criticizes attempts to explain the psychology of film viewing in
terms of the viewer's imaginary occupation of a position within the
world of film. On the contrary, film viewing is nearly always
impersonal.
