| Abstract | "Dana Polan's compelling study of Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) examines the film's significance to New Hollywood cinema and the science fiction genre. He argues that it is a film that is an allegory of films; it both narrates a tale of visual seduction and plays it out viscerally for the spectator who constantly shares the amazement of the protagonist Roy Neary as his mundane reality is transformed into something awe-inspiring"-- Provided by publisher. |
