There are hundreds of biographies of filmstars and dozens of
scholarly works on acting in general. But what about the ephemeral
yet indelible moments when, for a brief scene or even just a single
shot, an actor's performance triggers a visceral response in the
viewer? Moment of Action delves into the mysteries of screen
performance, revealing both the acting techniques and the technical
apparatuses that coalesce in an instant of cinematic alchemy to
create movie gold. Considering a range of acting styles while
examining films as varied as Bringing Up Baby, Psycho, The Red
Shoes, Godzilla, and The Bourne Identity, Murray Pomerance traces
the common dynamics that work to structure the complex relationship
between the act of cinematic performance and its eventual
perception. Mining the spaces where subjective and objective
analyses merge, Pomerance offers both a deeply personal account of
film viewership and a detailed examination of the intuitive
gestures, orchestrated movements, and backstage maneuvers that go
into creating those phenomenal moments onscreen. Moment of Action
takes us on an innovative exploration of the nexus at which the
actor's keen skills spark and kindle the audience's receptive
energies.
