I am pleased to announce the publication of Hollywood Aesthetic: Pleasure in American Cinema (Oxford University Press, 2017) by Todd Berliner. Aimed at film scholars, cognitive scientists, and cinephiles, the book explains how Hollywood delivers aesthetic pleasure to mass audiences.
The book features 100 full-color film stills throughout, and the e-book also features dozens of clips, so that readers can see for themselves the many film sequences analyzed in the book.
