Synopsis

The term 'narration' is often used to describe the process by which films communicate their stories. In 'Narrated Films' Avrom Fleishman challenges the prevailing assumptions attached to this term in favor of a more concrete sense: spoken and written storytellings, and the situations in which they are delivered. Each of these situations is illustrated by close readings of pairs of classic films: 'Sunset Boulevard' and 'Orpheus'; 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' and 'Hiroshima Mon Amour'; 'Rashomon' and 'Zelig'; 'Letters from an Unknown Woman' and' Diary of a Country Priest'; 'Daybreak' and 'Brief Encounter'.
