Moving Viewers
Through a discussion of mainstream Hollywood films, this title investigates what the author terms 'the paradox of negative emotion' and the function of mainstream narratives as ritualistic fantasies. It describes the sensual nature of the movies and shows how film emotions are often elicited for rhetorical purposes.
