This book of 26 intriguing and enjoyable essays
by 15 college professors uses issues raised by the film theory of William
R. Robinson. His book Man and the Movies was judged "one of the
best books ever about motion pictures" by the Los Angeles Times. SEEING
BEYOND discusses the relationship of movies, visions and values in numerous
films old and new, by acknowledged masters such as Bergman, Fellini, Antonioni,
Bertolucci, Resnais, Truffaut, Godard, Richardson, Lester, Ford, Peckinpah,
Altman, Penn, Nichols, and many others. The book focuses on the enduring
human quest to see beyond what our conventional eye allows that it sees.
SEEING BEYOND proves that, like it or not, movies are our teachers. All
readers can benefit from this book presenting Robinson's still on-going
project of "developing a complete moral view of the movies." |
