It reworks Pasolini's landmark concept of 'the cinema of poetry' to look at the transformation of film form in its encounter with society, the sacred, the subjective and the presence of the camera. In the 1970s, the influential forms of a cinema of poetry are analysed in key features by Altman, Herzog, Malick, Scorsese, Weir, Von Trotta and Tarkovsky while in the 1980s and 1990s the emergence of new filmmakers has meant a diffusion of different cinemas of poetry using new techniques and new poetries. Of key importance here is the work of Kieslowski, Lynch, Egoyan, Campion, Greenaway, Zhang Yimou, Tran Anh Hung and Wong Kar-Wai, as well as the reinvention of science fiction and film noir in American genre."

He has photographed such highly acclaimed films as SOPHIE'S CHOICE, KRAMER VS. KRAMER, THE BLUE LAGOON and DAYS OF HEAVEN, for which he received an Academy Award. As he looks back and describes simply but comprehensively the specific techniques used in these and many other films, we are offered a unique look at how movies are made."
