What is Polanski and Perception : The Psychology of Seeing and the Cinema of Roman Polanski about?

A new approach to a director whose contribution to cinema is often overshadowed his personal life, __Polanski and Perception__ focuses on Roman Polanski’s interest in the nature of perception and how this is manifested in his films. The incorporation of cognitive research into film theory is becoming increasingly widespread, with novel cinematic technologies and recent developments in digital projection making a strong grasp of perceptual psychology critical to fostering cognitive engagement. Informed by the work of neuropsychologist R. L. Gregory, this volume focuses primarily on two sets of films: the Apartment trilogyof __Repulsion, Rosemary’s Baby,__ and __The Tenant__; and the Investigation trilogy of __Chinatown, Frantic,__ and __The Ninth Gate__. Also included are case studies of __Knife in the Water, Death and the Maiden,__ and __The Ghost.____Polanski and Perception__ presents a highly original and engaging new look at the work of this influential filmmaker.
