In The Arts of Cinema, Martin Seel explores film's connections to the other arts and the qualities that distinguish it from them. In nine concise and elegantly written chapters, he explores the cinema's singular aesthetic potential and uses specific examples from a diverse range of films-from Antonioni and Hitchcock to The Searchers and The Bourne Supremacy-to demonstrate the many ways this potential can be realized. Seel's analysis provides both a new perspective on film as a comprehensive aesthetic experience and a nuanced understanding of what the medium does to us once we are in the cinema.

Theartsofcinemaissuefromanaffairwithmanyotherarts—withthehighwire acts of the rest of the art world, but with dramas of human emo tion, thought, and action as well. Within a space of its own, cinema plays with the spaces and temporalities of the human world—with the light and shadow of that world, its noise and its silence, its narrowness and its ex panse, its movement and its stasis. Cinema lets its audience be absently present. Cinema’saffairsarethusalwaysaffairswithus,withthosewhogoto the movies now and then to be touched by ﬁlms, and sometimes to let themselves be seduced.
