Reviews

This is a game-changing book, and one that lays down an important challenge to scholars of the moving image. In setting out the structuring silences and omissions made within the field whenever a time-worn version of psychoanalysis is brought to bear, Fuery makes a compelling case for the importance of object relational ideas in shaping lived and psychological experiences of film and television. Providing a lively, engaging, erudite, and spirited approach, this book shows how a sustained understanding of the work of Wilfred Bion affords new perspectives on the emotional invitations of moving image encounters. Fuery deftly defines complex ideas in accessible ways, supplying a route into object relations theory for newcomers. At the same time, though, she weaves a sophisticated, nuanced argument about the layers of theoretical complexity at work in her analysis, bringing in the ideas of analysts such as Melanie Klein and Christopher Bollas, as well as the work of film philosophers and psychoanalytic critics more broadly. The book adds much needed depth to debates about psychic experience and emotional lives in relation to screen culture, showing how psychoanalysis expands our understanding of cognitive processes and offers new approaches to theorising audiences. This will be a must-read for anyone invested in moving image theory and criticism.-Caroline Bainbridge, PhD, PFHEA, Professor of Culture and Psychoanalysis, University of Roehampton and Film Editor, International Journal of Psychoanalysis
