French critic and composer Michel Chion argues that watching movies is more than just a visual exercise& mdash;it enacts a process of audio-viewing. The audiovisual makes use of a wealth of tropes, devices, techniques, and effects that convert multiple sensations into image and sound, rendering& mdash;instead of reproducing& mdash;the world through cinema.The first half of Film, A Sound Art recasts the history of film as the evolution of a truly audiovisual language, considering developments in technology, aesthetic trends, and individual artistic style. The second half explores the intersection of auditory and visual realms. With restless inventiveness, Chion develops rhetoric to describe the effects of audio-visual combinations, recasting how we think of sound film. He claims, for example, that the silent era (which he terms "deaf cinema") did not end with the advent of sound technology but continues to function underneath and within later films.
Expanding our appreciation of cinematic experiences that range from Dolby multitrack in action flicks and the eerie tricycle of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining to the way actors from different nations use their voices and words, Film, A Sound Art showcases the vast knowledge and innovative thinking of a major theorist. |
