Mourning Films

This is work of very high quality indeed. It makes an important and original contribution to the discipline of film studies as well as to wider, psychological, approaches to cultural texts. Armstrong's knowledge and understanding of film history and theory, and his remarkable skills in film analysis and interpretation, too, shine out on every page of this book. It was a pleasure, albeit often a poignant one, to read it.--Catherine Grant, Senior Lecturer in Film Studies, School of Media, Film and Music, University of Sussex, United Kingdom. ""This lyrical, elegant book takes us into the heartland of a cinema of mourning. Richard Armstrong writes with feeling and grace about the capacity of the moving image to make grief visible.""--Catherine Grant, Senior Lecturer in Film Studies, School of Media, Film and Music, University of Sussex, United Kingdom.
