Description:
This classic study was first published in France as La Semiologie en Question. A filmmaker and theoretician, Mitry asks if cinema is a language, can it be understood through the techniques of linguistic analysis? In effect, he interrogates semiology by representing its basic propositions and approaches, comparing them with scientific humanist aesthetics. Mitry's study ranges across film language, its syntax, grammar, and code; signs and signification; montage; images; narrative structures; symbols and metaphors; and the rhythm of film.
