Críticas:

Framing Pictures is a welcome, major addition to the literature on the relationships between film and the other visual arts. Lucid, thorough, and wide-ranging, it is the work of a scholar both deeply grounded in the histories of art and cinema and current with contemporary art and critical discourses. Jacobs covers the entire intermedial territory, balancing wonderfully succinct overviews with close consideration of art documentaries, artist biopics, tableaux vivants, film stills, and the cinematic turn in contemporary art. --Susan Felleman, Associate Professor of Cinema Studies, Southern Illinois University Carbondale

Reseña del editor:

Edinburgh Film Studies is a series of advanced textbooks which cover core aspects of film studies for undergraduate students while, at the same time, offering valuable material for the general reader and the expert. The series as a whole provide a comprehensive introduction to the subject. Each volume focuses on a key topic in film studies and is intended to produce a broad overview as well as a critical intervention. Each study, therefore, is not only informed but also analytical and controversial. Volumes are discursive, accessible and alert to recent developments in the field. They each contains suggestions for further reading, an extensive bibliography, and one or more case-study chapters in which a specific film (short, feature or documentary) is analysed in depth, with the book topic providing the wider framework.
