In a recent international survey conducted by the online film
journal "Screening the Past," which invited film critics and
scholars around the world to nominate the most important
contributions to the field in the past decade, "The Material Ghost"
tied for first place with Jean-Luc Godard's "Histoire(s) du
Cinema." Gilberto Perez draws on his lifelong love of the movies as
well as his work as a film scholar to write a lively, wide-ranging,
penetrating study of films and filmmakers and the nature of the art
form.
A lifetime of cinematic writing culminates in this breathtaking
statement on film's unique ability to move us Cinema is commonly
hailed as "the universal language," but how does it communicate so
effortlessly across cultural and linguistic borders? In The
Eloquent Screen, influential film critic Gilberto Perez makes a
capstone statement on the powerful ways in which film acts on our
minds and senses. Drawing on a lifetime's worth of viewing and
re-viewing, Perez invokes a dizzying array of masters past and
present-including Chaplin, Ford, Kiarostami, Eisenstein, Malick,
Mizoguchi, Haneke, Hitchcock, and Godard-to explore the transaction
between filmmaker and audience. He begins by explaining how film
fits into the rhetorical tradition of persuasion and argumentation.
Next, Perez explores how film embodies the central tropes of
rhetoric--metaphor, metonymy, allegory, and synecdoche--and
concludes with a thrilling account of cinema's spectacular capacity
to create relationships of identification with its audiences.
Although there have been several attempts to develop a poetics of
film, there has been no sustained attempt to set forth a rhetoric
of film-one that bridges aesthetics and audience. Grasping that
challenge, The Eloquent Screen shows how cinema, as the consummate
contemporary art form, establishes a thoroughly modern rhetoric in
which different points of view are brought into clear focus.
