A recent article of mine approaches some questions related to the film as fetish -
see Richard Rushton "Cinema's double: some reflections on Metz", *Screen* Vol. 33, No. 2, Summer 2002.

Hi,

I was wondering if you could help me locate a scholarly article that posits that film itself is a fetish. Following Laura Mulvey's Visual Pleasure essay, I am just curious if someone has discussed the film itself (the project of mediation) as a fetish object.

Thanks so much,
Mimi
