In Cinema, If You Please, Murray Pomerance explores our ways of
watching film in light of socially organized forms of pleasure that
date back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Wedding the
notion of pleasure in film viewing to the history of pleasure in
the West, the book considers pleasure gardens and promenading; the
history of oil painting and its display; the passion for travel and
exposure to the exotic and strange; and forms of musical repetition
and restatement. With in-depth studies of films like Vertigo, The
Passenger, A Matter of Life and Death, Clouds of Sils Maria,
Personal Shopper, Call Me By Your Name and Blow-Up, this
ground-breaking book draws the reader into the past and the present
at once, joining an understanding of personal and visual delight to
their cultural and historical roots.
