A pioneer in the field, Christian Metz applies insights of structural linguistics to the language of film.
"The semiology of film . . . can be held to date from the publication in 1964 of the famous essay by Christian Metz, "Le cinema: langue ou langage?""--Geoffrey Nowell-Smith, Times Literary Supplement
"Modern film theory begins with Metz."--Constance Penley, coeditor of Camera Obscura
"Any consideration of semiology in relation to the particular field signifying practice of film passes inevitably through a reference to the work of Christian Metz. . . . The first book to be written in this field, [Film Language] is important not merely because of this primacy but also because of the issues it raises . . . issues that have become crucial to the contemporary argument."--Stephen Heath, Screen Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Film Language: A Semiotics of the Cinema (Christian Metz)
