Film Narratology Introduction to the Theory of Narrative

'Verstraten's book provides an indispensable guide to the narratological analysis of films. Film Narratology is interdisciplinary in the best sense of the word, taking both narrative theory and film analysis seriously and in great detail. Concept-based, Verstraten's lucid dialogues between concepts and an enormous corpus of films, from Hollywood to avant-garde, are inspirational.' - Mieke Bal, Academy Professor of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Science and author of Narratology
