Riassunto

An anthology of essays by film scholars and aestheticists who discuss, from a cognitive perspective, the ways that films cue emotional responses, positing models for how we process and emotionally experience film. Twelve articles, divided into three sections kinds of films, kinds of emotion; film technique, film narrative, and emotion; and desire, identification, and empathy examine such topics as narrational and stylistic devices (e.g. music, facial expression) designed to elicit emotion, as well as the uses of comedy, the portrayal of desire, and how and why we identify with specific film characters.
