The sound of pomegranates
André Bazin distinguished between filmmakers who put their faith in reality and those who put their faith in the image. We might similarly distinguish between critics who valorize cinema as it liberates itself from the trappings of language and those who praise it as language’s apotheosis. These broad and opposing impulses span disagreements over the use of intertitles in the silent era to the more contemporary methodological shift from semiology…
