The 29 prose poems in Cinematic Reveries: Gestures, Stillness,
Water provide distinctive points of entry into a select group of
films through attention to evocative gestures, a sense of
stillness, and images of water. These original writings offer film
criticism in a new form, with a tone that is at once exploratory,
familiar, and elegiac. They explore the precious nature of water;
they point to gestures both eloquent and obscure. They offer us
moments of arrested motion as well as longer contemplative
sequences in films from Asia, Europe, New Zealand, and the U.S. To
cite a sentiment expressed by filmmaker Raul Ruiz in his Poetics of
Cinema 2, these are tributes to great films that "recognize [us]
like an old relative." The reader is encouraged to explore
Cinematic Reveries as a portrait of the cinema which is at times
lyrical, sometimes comic, and often tinged with pathos. This
celebration of the art film is richly illustrated, with suggestions
for further readings and viewings.
