Film/TV Books Online Audio-Vision: Sound on Screen, by Michel Chion; edited and translated by Claudia Gorbman; foreward by Walter Murch Published by Columbia University Press 1993 / 239 pages / ISBN 0-231-07899-4 / $17.50 paper ISBN 0-231-07898-6 / $55.00 cloth Audio-Vision summarizes and recasts the arguments from Chion's crucially important trilogy on film sound: Le Voix au cinma (1982), Le Son au cinma (1985), and La Toile troue (1988). "Michel Chion is the leading French cinema scholar to study the sound track. . . . I know of no writer in any language to have published as much in this area, and of such uniformly high quality, as he. Audio-Vision is most certainly an original and significant contribution to the field; its arguments will rapidly become standard reference points." --Alan Williams, Rutgers University Title suggested by Scot Mcphee.
