As earlier with sound, the study of linguistic difference in cinema is gradually emerging from the shadows of Anglophony and into film theory’s spotlight. The Multilingual Screen will be among the volumes instrumental for this turn. Conceptually original, genuinely plurilingual in its reach and research, catholic in its methods, the volume maps not only the terrain of languages as such but, more surprisingly, the tectonic force of split-language-consciousness on cinematic forms.
