Reviews

While Phillips's starting point and purpose may be philosophical, Sternberg and Dietrich is genuinely, and imaginatively, engaged with the films under consideration, with their maker and their star, excavating the progress and the structure of its own pleasure and fascination- and ours. This absorbing book thinks afresh about the experience of cinematic perception, about spectacle and spectatorship, the agency of images, the auteur's voice, the aura of stars. Phillips invites us to re-examine these ideas not in academic isolation but, to borrow his phrase, within the horizon of human interaction. * Noa Steimatsky, author of The Face on Film *
