Reseña del libro "Thinking Cinema With Proust (Moving Image) (en Inglés)"
How can Proust&rsquo,s A la recherche du temps perdu prompt us to re-imagine the cinema? Although no-one goes to the cinema in the novel, and its narrator is critical of a &lsquo,merely&rsquo, cinematographic account of reality, the proposition of Thinking Cinema with Proust is that the Recherche can provide a powerful catalyst for re-thinking the cinema, and that the &rsquo,structural absence&rsquo, of cinema from Proust&rsquo,s novel is rich in implications. Drawing on a complex terrain of intersections and overlaps between the experience of the spectator and that of Proust&rsquo,s narrator and reader, the book is focused around a series of motifs &ndash, reverie, the camera obscura, the magic lantern, projection, gesture and &lsquo,screen memory&rsquo, &ndash, which enable a fluid movement back and forth between Proust and film theory.Patrick ffrench is Professor of French at King&rsquo,s College London._,
