Murray Pomerance's latest book explores an encyclopedic range of
films and television shows to demonstrate the difficulty of
conveying the experience of viewing cinema through words and the
medium of text. From On the Waterfront to Marriage Story, Uncanny
Cinema illuminates that words and writing are in perilous waters
when applied to cinema, similar to ungestured talk. The book begins
with this problem using Julian Jaynes's thoughts on vocality and
imagination before delving into three exploratory 'movements'
arranged to alternately challenge, inspire, and confound the reader
to question if we know what we think we know or even see what we
think we see. The viewer is faced with disturbances, ruptures, and
surprises that occur during the viewing experience, which Pomerance
analyzes to stretch the sense of what we do and do not (or,
possibly, cannot) know, particularly as we think, talk, and write
about cinema.
