Synopsis
The human face is a privileged arena of expressivity; yet, this book suggests, cinema's most radical encounters with the face give rise to ambiguity, illegibility--an equivocation between image and language. Braiding theoretical and aesthetic considerations with close analysis of films, Steimatsky interrogates the convergence of archaic powers and modern anxieties in our experience of the face on film.
