- Summary
- This book is a lucid account of a much neglected subject in art and cinema studies: the material significance of the art object incorporated into the fiction film. By examining the historical, political, and personal realities that situate the art works, Susan Felleman offers an incisive account of how they operate not as objects but as powerful players within the films, thereby exceeding the narrative function of mere props, copies, pastiches, or reproductions. The book consists of a series of interconnected case studies of movies, including "Pride & Prejudice", "The Trouble with Harry", and "The Player", ultimately showing that when real art works enter into fiction films, they embody themes and discourses in a way that other objects often cannot.
