Temporality, however, remains an underexplored area of film analysis, which frequently discusses images as though they were still rather than moving. </p> <p>This book traces the operation of duration in cinema, and argues that temporality should be a central concern of film scholarship. In close readings of Michelangelo Antonioni's L'Avventura, Andrei Tarkovsky's Mirror, and the ten short films that make up Krzysztof Kieślowski's Decalogue series, Mroz highlights how film analysis must consider both particular moments in cinema which are critically significant, and the way in which such moments interrelate in temporal flux. She explores the concepts of duration and rhythm, resonance and uncertainty, affect, sense and texture, to bring a fresh perspective to film analysis and criticism.</p> <p>Essential reading for students and scholars in Film Studies, this engaging study will also be a valuable resource for critical theorists.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Matilda Mroz is Lecturer in Film Studies at the University of Sussex.
