What similarities does a silent film and a talking film both have in common? A thriller and a comedy? Carn and Godard? Nothing, except that, each in his own way, attempts to tell something. Through a methodical presentation of the key concepts of narratology, in particular those of viewpoints, narrators and time, this book lets us analyse the diversity of films and reveal the common ground of any cinematographic narrative. The authors, both internationally recognised for their research on narrative, put into practice the achievements of most recent theories through many examples, chosen in very different periods, genres or authors. On the occasion of this new and updated edition, the authors address the question of the narrative in TV series.
