Reviews

More Sprezzatura theorizing from one of the most exciting and iconoclastic film scholars writing today. A thoroughly original focus on a topic that, previously undiscussed, is revealed as incredibly significant to the realism debate in media studies more generally, once Pomerance identifies it. * Richard Barton Palmer, Calhoun Lemon Professor Emeritus of English, Clemson University, USA *
