Hi all,
I'd like to big up Mike Frank on this issue. It seems to me that if cinema did nothing else (and it did) it helped us humans
redefine ourselves, one can't imagine the sublime moment when an audience first saw the huge cinematic (sic) face in all its
glory. Surely a film such as Dryer's 'Joan Of Arc' testifies to something cinematic, to have the chance to examine the human face
in such detail must transform our relationship to our own ideas of the face..I guess all I'm really saying is that the close-up is
an instance of the cinematic.
peace
