Narration in Light
Studies in Cinematic Point of View
George M. Wilson
A full understanding and appreciation of narrative film, George Wilson
argues, requires a concept of point of view necessarily distinct from, yet
comparable to, contemporary theories of point of view in prose fiction.
Focusing on the special ways in which a film controls the access of its
viewers to the events that constitute its narrative, Wilson offers close
viewings of five classic Hollywood movies: You Only Live Once, North by
Northwest, Letter from an Unknown Woman, The Devil Is a Woman, and Rebel
Without a Cause. Illustrated with B&W stills from the films.
The Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore MD, 1988, 219 pages, 6" x 9",
trade paperback, illustrated.
