First sentence: A book is all the more definitely the product of a series of subtractions when it presents itself as the sum of a finite number of elements.
Description: "The Analysis of Film brings together Raymond Bellour's acclaimed studies of classical Hollywood film. It is at once a book about the methods of close film analysis, the narrative structure of Hollywood film, Hitchcock's work - The Birds, Marnie, Psycho, North by Northwest - and the role of the woman in Western representation. Finally, it is a book about cinema itself and the love for cinema that drives the passion for analyzing this supreme art form of the twentieth-century."--BOOK JACKET.
