In this collection 13 scholars of film studies investigate such subjects as the relationship between genre and emotion, film narrative, music and cinematic techniques used to elicit emotion and the spectator’s identification with and in response to film characters. | Passionate Views by Carl Plantinga, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
