- Title
Splintered Perspectives: Counterpoint and Subjectivity in the Modernist Film Narrative.
- Authors
Williams, Bruce
- Abstract
The article focuses on the subjectivity of counterpoint in three diverse modernist film narratives that provide alternatives to a static relationship between sound and image. It explores the films "News from Home," by Chantal Akerman, "India Song," by Marguerite Duras, "Black God, White Devil," by Glauber Rocha because of their complex interplay of point of view and identification in facilitating contrapuntal structures. It infers that the subject of counterpoint is defined by the diverse interweavings of sound and image that emerge when the implications of Eisenstein's theory of aural counterpoint are put to test.
