Bakhtin and the Movies cover

Martin Flanagan uses Bakhtin's notions of dialogism, chronotope and polyphony to address fundamental questions about film form and reception, focussing particularly on the way cinematic narrative utilises time and space in its very construction.

'A well-needed instalment in the sparse critical work on Bakhtin and cinema...this study unlocks new ways of understanding the circulation and production of film meaning.'
