Summary

They obsess over the nuances of a Douglas Sirk or Ingmar Bergman film; they revel in books such as Franccedil;ois Truffaut'sHitchcock; they happily subscribe to the Sundance Channelthey are the rare breed known as cinephiles. Though much has been made of the classic era of cinephilia from the 1950s to the 1970s,Cinephiliadocuments the latest generation of cinephiles and their use of new technologies. With the advent of home theaters, digital recording devices, online film communities, cinephiles today pursue their dedication to film outside of institutional settings. A radical new history of film culture,Cinephiliabreaks new ground for students and scholars alike.
