Author: Tom ConleyISBN: 9780816643578Publisher: University of Minnesota PressYear first published: 01 Apr 2007Pages: 336 Format: Paperback / softbackCartographic Cinema examines th e affinities of maps and movies through comparative theory and close analysis of films from the silent era to the French New Wave to Hollywood blockbusters.

In addition, he demonstrates that spatial signs in film foster a critical relation with the prevailing narrative and mimetic registers of cinema. Show more
