Summary

Laura Mulvey addresses some of the crucial questions of film theory, spectatorship and narrative. New media technologies, such as video and DVD, have transformed the way we experience film. These technologies give viewers the means to control both image and story, so that films produced to be seen collectively and followed in a linear fashion may be found to contain unexpected, even unintended, pleasures.

Author Biography

Laura Mulvey is professor of film and media studies at Birkbeck College, University of London, and the author of a number of books, including Visual and Other Pleasures and Fetishism and Curiosity.
