About the book

This is the first collection of essays in English to give prominence to the work of European film scholars whose aim is "to understand how film is understood." The Film Spectator raises fundamental issues that have confronted film theory for the past thirty years, but which have never been adequately answered. It gathers together a representative sample of this work, covering the period from the mid-seventies to the present.
