Space is a major issue of aesthetic and philosophic reflections on cinema, around which the whole storyline is made. How do films represent the space? How is it organise by the staging, the editing and the relation between image and sound? What spaces do we feel in cinema? How do they influence our way to see the world and to think about us and our own situation? To answer these questions, this book gives a definition of the cinematic space as a dynamic power of the image in motion, gifted with a strong sensory impact on its audience. This cineplastic and rhythmic approach of space ends with an original concept: the space-image. The book is based on the analysis of many films, and especially on the work of film directors such as Buster Keaton, Orson Welles, Michelangelo Antoniono, Andre Tarkovski, Gus Van Sant or even Jia Zhang-Ke. It is particularly helpful to understand the great evolutions of contemporary cinema.
