| Summary | Annotation A new approach to a director whose contribution to cinema is often overshadowed his personal life,Polanski and Perceptionfocuses on Roman Polanskis interest in the nature of perception and how this is manifested in his films. The incorporation of cognitive research into film theory is becoming increasingly widespread, with novel cinematic technologies and recent developments in digital projection making a strong grasp of perceptual psychology critical to fostering cognitive engagement.Informed by the work of neuropsychologist R. L. Gregory, this volume focuses primarily on two sets of films: the Apartment trilogyofRepulsion, Rosemarys Baby,andThe Tenant; and the Investigation trilogy ofChinatown, Frantic,andThe Ninth Gate. Also included are case studies ofKnife in the Water, Death and the Maiden,andThe Ghost.Polanski and Perceptionpresents a highly original and engaging new look at the work of this influential filmmaker. |
