In Metaphor and Film, Trevor Whittock demonstrates that feature films are permeated by metaphors that were consciouslyintroduced by directors. An examination of cinematic metaphor forces us to reconsider the nature of metaphor itself, and theways by which such visual imagery can be recognised and understood, as well as interpreted. Metaphor and Film identifies theprincipal forms of cinematic metaphor, and also provides an analysis of the mental operations that one must bring to it. Recentdevelopments in cognitive psychology, especially those relating to the nature and formation of categories, are called upon toexplain these processes. Metaphor and Film ranges widely over film theory as it does over philosophical, literary, linguistic, andpsychological accounts of metaphor. Particularly useful to those studying film, literature, and aesthetics, this study is also aprovocative contribution to an important debate in which film theorists and philosophers are currently engaged.
